Did you play a Mom on tv whose oldest son (on the show) just vanished one day and neither you nor anyone else in your family ever mentioned him again?

I need to get out more. **Marion Ross** played Mrs. Cunningham on _Happy Days_ and in the first season, they had a basketball playing son named Chuck. He was written out of the show and no character ever mentioned him again.

Were you alive in the 20th century?

Hmm. Not sure if I know who you mean. Is that Maude from _Harold and Maude_? IMDB doesn’t list the character’s last name. Go ahead and take a DQ.
