Erin Moran was a key member of the show Happy Days. She was never as big as Fonzie, but boy do we remember her. She started her acting career at the age of just five years old when she made it onto a First Federal Bank commercial and the rest as they say is history. Unfortunately, we talk about Erin today because she passed away over the weekend.
It wasn’t just “Happy Days” that she played a big role in. She was also in “Joanie Loves Chachi,” where she was Joanie obviously! She starred in it with Scot Baio for the two years that it ran on ABC.
Erin struggled with depression after her acting career abruptly ended in the 80s and according to past interviews just couldn’t find work.
Erin was found unresponsive on Saturday in Corydon, Indiana. She was just 56 years old.
