Erin Moran, best known for playing Ron Howard’s kid sister in the classic 1970s sitcom “Happy Days,” has died. She was 56.
EMTs were called at 4 p.m. ET on Saturday to an Indiana home to tend an “unresponsive female,” the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department confirms.
“Upon the arrival of first responders, it was determined that Erin Marie Moran Fleischmann was deceased. An autopsy is pending,” they said in a statement.
Moran was just 6 years old when she was cast in the TV series “Daktari,” where her most unusually co-stars included a chimp named Judy and Clarence the Lion.
