Marion Ross (Lorelai ‘Trix’ Gilmore on Gilmore Girls) attended the “Salute to TV Dads” event at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences on June 18th. She was seen posing with Erin Morgan, who played Marion’s daughter in the TV series Happy Days.

Rather unfortunately, Marion Ross wore the exact same outfit to the “A Mother’s Day Salute to TV Moms” event last May. Still, at least it’s a nice outfit for her!
