Synopsis
To provide exposition,
Nancy Walker had played Howard Cunningham's visiting cousin Nancy Blansky from
Las Vegas on a February 4, 1977
Happy Days episode, and
Blansky's Beauties premiered the following week, on February 12, 1977.
Nancy Blansky (Walker) was a long-time Las Vegas showbiz vet (since the 1950s) and current den mother to a bevy of beautiful Las Vegas showgirls. In addition to keeping order in the chaotic apartment complex where they all lived, Nancy staged the girls' big numbers at the Oasis Hotel. Although the
Happy Days episode on which Nancy first appeared took place in the early '60s,
Blansky's Beauties itself was set in (then) present-day 1977.
