Joanie Cunningham on HAPPY DAYS and its spin-off JOANIE LOVES CHACHI, she fell on hard times and recently been kicked out of a trailer park in Indiana.
The day before yesterday, she was found unresponsive, and was later declared dead.
She was only 56 years old.
As of today, no official cause of death has been announced, but I read in Wiki that she was a hard partyer, so she might have OD'd.
I remember when Mary Tyler Moore died in January, there were very few words from her TV co-stars, and the only actor to attend her funeral was Bernadette Peters.
I hope that Erin will be better remembered by Hollywood than that.

I never heard any stories about her not getting along with anyone. In fact, her show made them stars. |

Well, it should be remembered that her co-stars are quite old, and maybe it's too hard for them to fly to Connecticut for the funeral.
But I can't explain why they made so few comments regarding her death.

I did turn out to be stage four throat cancer, but I wonder if years of substance abuse might have had something to do with it.
What a shame. She was broke by now, apparently being fed through a tube, and lived in a trailer park (or was kicked out from what I understand). I suppose being a famous child star at the time kinda went to her head, and she turned to drugs.
At least she'll live on in Happy Days (1974 - 1984) reruns.

It's also quite possible that she was one of those child celebrities that was sexually abused by more powerful people in Hollywood, which caused her to turn to drugs. In recent years, more & more former child stars are coming forward, claiming that sexual abuse is very common in the industry, hence the the tragic ends, of so many former young celebrities. |

Erin Moran, the former child star who played Joanie Cunningham in the sitcom "Happy Days" and "Joanie Loves Chachi," died Saturday at age 56.
She died from stage four cancer. Her husband, Steve Fleischmann, says he held her hand as she passed away.
"She was there watching TV in bed. I laid down next to her, held her right hand in my left. I fell asleep and woke up about a hour later still holding her hand, and she was gone, she was just gone…" he said in a statement.

John 3:16 – What Aaron Hernandez Left as a Suicide Note
While many mourn her death, new information reveals that Moran was a strong believer who knew the Lord before she died.
Moran's limo driver, Barton T. Wade, told Breaking Christian News that years ago, Moran told him about how her friend and fellow actress, Lisa Welchel had led her to the Lord, and that she had accepted Christ.
When she was alive Moran spent her years acting in TV and movies. She had several years of experience when she was cast in 1974 in "Happy Days" as Joanie Cunningham, the kid sister to high school student Richie Cunningham, played by Ron Howard. Other cast members included Tom Bosley and Marion Ross as Joanie's parents and Henry Winkler as the loveable tough guy Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli.
"What happened with all of us was like we were this family," she told Xfinity in 2009. "It was so surreal with all the cast members. ... They were my family, get it?"
Debuting at a time of nostalgia for the seemingly innocent 1950s, the sitcom was set in Milwaukee and became a long-running hit. Howard and Winkler were the show's biggest stars, but the smiling, freckle-faced Moran also became popular. In 1982, she was paired off with fellow "Happy Days" performer Scott Baio in the short-lived "Joanie Loves Chachi." Moran returned to "Happy Days" in 1984, the show's final season.
Her more recent credits included "The Love Boat" and "Murder, She Wrote," but she never approached the success of "Happy Days" in any other roles.
