American actress Cindy Morgan has died at the age of 69.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the news to TMZ this weekend, which they said was due to natural causes. Officials were not able to specify when she passed away.

Morgan rose to fame as Lacey Underall in the 1980 sports comedy Caddyshack, starring alongside Bill Murray, Chevy Chase and Rodney Dangerfield. 

She said in 2012 of her audition for the role: “Caddyshack was my first film and I’ll say that the end product was so completely different, it was originally about the caddies. 

“So at first, I had nothing to lose to audition. It was fun. 

“All I did was focus on making the person sweat. Look ’em in the eye, do that thing many women know how to…”

Morgan is also known for her role as Lora Baines and Yori, her alter-ego, in Disney’s original Tron film, which was released in 1982.

She returned to the Tron universe as the voice of Ma3a in the 2003 video game Tron 2.0.

Other TV credits include Masquerade, The Fall Guy, Tough Cookies, Bring ‘Em Back Alive, Hawaiian Heat, Beverly Hills Buntz, Falcon Crest, FBI, Hunter, Matlock, Mancuso, and The Larry Sanders Show.

Meanwhile, Morgan’s film credits include 1979’s Up Yours, 1995’s Galaxis and 2006’s Open Mic’rs.

Morgan continued to do voice work after the ‘90s, most recently voicing Mason’s Mother in 2022’s Face of the Trinity.
