Actress Mackenzie Phillips says producers forced her off the set of the hit CBS sitcom "One Day at a Time" after she refused an on-the-spot drug test, a test she admits she would have failed. Phillips, now 66, laid out the account at a recent panel appearance at Fanboy Expo in Knoxville, Tennessee, where she told fans that her contract included a morals clause with teeth sharper than the standard version. Every cast member signed a morals agreement, she said, but hers carried a specific provision: if producers suspected she was under the influence, they could haul her to a doctor for a urinalysis on the spot. That provision came due during a lunch break. Phillips told the panel she had fallen asleep on a couch on set when co-executive…Open

Henry Winkler, 80, used a recent fan expo appearance to remind audiences that the "Happy Days" cast kept egos in check, and to single out one unnamed guest star who refused to get the message. Speaking at a fan convention in Tennessee, Winkler described the culture on the set of the long-running sitcom as fiercely egalitarian.

Two Golden Globe Awards came with the role. But Winkler told the crowd that none of that mattered once the cameras were rolling. "On our set, there was no stardom," Winkler said. "We were an ensemble. We worked hard at making it funny every week." That…Open
