Scott Baio is an actor well-known for his role as Chachi Arcola on the 1970s show "Happy Days." The 60-year-old took to Twitter on October 25 to congratulate his on-screen mother-in-law, Marion Ross, on her 92nd birthday with a heartwarming post.

The "Charles In Charge" star uploaded a picture of himself with Ross at what appeared to be her birthday party. Baio held a cake with a lit candle while the 92-year-old could be seen in the background with a huge smile on her face.

It seemed he was the only cast member to show up for Ross' big day as their former co-stars reunited to support the Wisconsin Democratic Party in a virtual fundraiser event.

Ron Howard, Henry Winkler, Don Most, Anson Williams, and D’arcy Carden joined other special guests in reading the script of a popular episode of their hit show. According to sources, Ross didn't participate in the event due to her health, and Baio was also absent as he supports Donald Trump.
