Hollywood, CA – Actress Erin Moran, who was featured on network television during her adolescent and early adult years and was best known for her role in the sitcom “Happy Days,” has died. She was 56.
Police in Indiana found her body Saturday afternoon after getting a 911 call at 4:07 p.m. for “an unresponsive female,” the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department said.
Moran was cast as Joanie Cunningham, the younger sister of Richie Cunningham, who was played by Ron Howard, a child actor who is now a famed director.
“Such sad news—I’ll always choose to remember you on our show making scenes better, getting laughs and lighting up TV screens,” Howard wrote on Twitter.
