Roz Kelly (born July 29, 1943) is an American actress, perhaps best known for playing Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli's (Henry Winkler) girlfriend Carol "Pinky" Tuscadero on the hit television series ''Happy Days''.〔 ==Career== Before ''Happy Days'', Roz Kelly worked as a staff photographer for New York Magazine, where she took pictures of both unknowns and celebrities, including Jimi Hendrix, Soupy Sales, Andy Warhol, Cream, Leonard Cohen, Neil Diamond and photographer Diane Arbus. On ''Happy Days'', Kelly played Carol "Pinky" Tuscadero, the older sister of Leather Tuscadero (singer Suzi Quatro). Just as Arthur Fonzarelli insisted on being called "Fonzie" or "the Fonz", Carol insisted on being called "Pinky", and usually dressed in attire to match. Pinky was slated to be Fonzie's long-term girlfriend after her initial appearances in episodes #64–66; commercials for the next season even began promoting Kelly's new character. When discord occurred among Kelly, the cast and producers, her character was dropped; she was only mentioned briefly in two later episodes. Beyond ''Happy Days'', Kelly reprised her Pinky role on the first episode of the short-lived 1977 ''Happy Days'' spin-off, ''Blansky's Beauties''. Kelly also portrayed 1981 Diane Sullivan in the Slasher film ''New Year's Evil''.〔(Scream Factory Rings in the New Year’s Evil Details )〕 Kelly also played guest roles on ''Starsky and Hutch'', ''Match Game '76'', ''The Paul Lynde Halloween Special'', ''Baretta'', ''Kojak'', ''The Love Boat'', ''The Dukes of Hazzard'', ''Charlie's Angels'' and ''Fantasy Island'').〔 Her role in ''Starsky and Hutch'' was created when star Paul Michael Glaser (Starsky) planned to quit at the start of the third season, with Kelly's character, Officer Linda Baylor, intended to fill his place. However, Glaser was persuaded to stay, and Kelly's character ultimately only appeared in one episode, ''Fatal Charm''. Her characters on these other shows never reached the level of cult fame that Pinky Tuscadero gave her. So closely identified was she with the character that she was billed as Roz "Pinky Tuscadero" Kelly for her appearance on ''The Paul Lynde Halloween Special''. During this period, Kelly also appeared as a celebrity panelist on such game shows as ''Match Game'' and ''Hollywood Squares''. Kelly also played roles in low budget movies including ''The Owl and the Pussycat'', ''Greetings'' and ''Full Moon High''. Kelly appeared as a guest of ''The Jenny Jones Show'' episode focusing on "Whatever Happened to Your Favorite Television Stars?" along with ''What's Happening!!s Danielle Spencer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roz Kelly」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
