‘Caddyshack’ and ‘Tron’ star Cindy Morgan dies at 69

Actress Cindy Morgan, who rose to fame in the 1980s for her legendary role as a blonde bombshell in the cult classic film “Caddyshack,” has died at the age of 69, authorities said.

Morgan was best known for turning heads as golf club floozy Lacey Underall in the iconic 1980 comedy alongside legends Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield and Chevy Chase.

He also starred in the ’80s sci-fi film “Tron.”

A representative from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to Fox News on Saturday that the actress died of natural causes “a few days ago.”

Morgan’s roommate reportedly called police to her Lake Worth Beach home on Dec. 30, 2023, as she returned from a vacation trip, according to TMZ.

He knocked on the door, got no answer, and told police he smelled a strong odor coming from inside. Police found Morgan dead in her bedroom with no suspicion of foul play, TMZ reported.

The Post contacted the sheriff’s office for additional information.
