Actress Cindy Morgan has died at 69.
On Saturday, Jan. 6, TMZ reported the Caddyshack and Tron star died in her Lake Worth Beach, Fla., home in December.
Morgan's roommate reportedly called law enforcement on Dec. 30 after returning from a trip, the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office told the publication. After knocking on Morgan's door and getting no response, the roommate said she smelled a strong odor from inside. First responders found Morgan dead in her room.
The roommate reportedly last saw Morgan alive on Dec. 19. No foul play is suspected, and an investigation is underway.
In 1980, Morgan portrayed Lacey Underall in the comedy Caddyshack alongside Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield and Ted Knight.
Of why the film continues to be popular today, Morgan told The Palm Beach Post in 2018, "The truth is, we were really having the best time possible, and you can't fake that. We were struck by comedy lightning. They had four of the funniest men on the planet."
“It was the longest and best party I’ve ever attended," she said of the film, which was her first movie role, per the Los Angeles Times.
In 1982, she portrayed dual roles—Yori and Lora—in Tron. Other film credits include Silent Fury, Up Yours, Galaxis and more.
Morgan's TV credits are even more prolific. They included The Love Boat, Bring 'Em Back Alive, The Fall Guy, Matlock, Hunter, Falcon Crest, The Larry Sanders Show, and Mancuso, FBI, among others.
