A Light Gone Dim: Cindy Morgan, Star of "Tron" and "Caddyshack," Passes Away at 69

The world of entertainment dimmed a little on December 30th, 2023, with the passing of beloved actress Cindy Morgan at the age of 69. While the official cause of death was stated as natural causes, a void is left in the hearts of fans who cherished her roles in iconic films like "Tron" and "Caddyshack."

Born Cynthia Ann Cichorski in Chicago, Morgan's journey to the silver screen began with humble beginnings. After attending Northern Illinois University, she cut her teeth in local news and radio before chasing her dreams in Los Angeles. It wasn't long before her infectious energy and bright talent caught the eye of Hollywood.


Her breakout role came in 1980 with the unforgettable comedy "Caddyshack." Morgan's portrayal of the bubbly "floozy" Lacey Underall, alongside comedic giants Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, and Rodney Dangerfield, cemented her status as a rising star. She brought humor and heart to the character, creating a scene-stealing performance that continues to resonate with audiences today.

But Morgan's career wasn't just about laughs. In 1982, she took on the dual role of Lora and Yori in Disney's groundbreaking sci-fi epic "Tron." Navigating the digital world with grace and vulnerability, she added another layer to her repertoire, showcasing her depth and dramatic range.


Throughout the 80s and 90s, Morgan continued to shine in diverse roles, leaving her mark on television shows like "Falcon Crest" and "Murder, She Wrote," and films like "Goodbye, Cruel World" and "Fast Forward."


Cindy Morgan was more than just a gifted actress; she was a ray of sunshine, a vibrant presence that lit up every screen she graced. Her infectious smile and genuine warmth captivated audiences, while her dedication to her craft earned the respect of her peers.


Today, we mourn the loss of a talented artist and a wonderful human being. But amidst the sadness, let us remember the laughter she brought us, the worlds she opened up, and the inspiration she provided. Cindy Morgan may be gone, but her legacy will continue to shine bright, a testament to the enduring power of her talent and spirit.

Eagles acquire Kenny Pickett in a trade with the Steelers

  Eagles Swoop in for Pickett in Shocking Trade with Steelers The Philadelphia Eagles pulled off a surprise move this morning, acquiring young quarterback Kenny Pickett from the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for draft picks. Pickett, the 20th overall selection in the 2022 NFL Draft, started most of the games for the Steelers the past two seasons. However, Pittsburgh's acquisition of veteran quarterback Russell Wilson made Pickett expendable. The Eagles, always looking to solidify their depth at the quarterback position behind Jalen Hurts, saw an opportunity and pounced. They gave up a 2024 third-round pick (98th overall) and a pair of seventh-round picks in the 2025 draft to land Pickett and a 2024 fourth-round pick (120th overall) from the Steelers. This is a low-risk, potentially high-reward move for the Eagles. Pickett showed promise in his starts for Pittsburgh, completing 446 passes for 4,474 yards and 13 touchdowns in two seasons. If he can develop under Head Coach Nick S
