Happy Days Star, Erin Moran, Dead at 56


Erin Moran who famously played Joanie Cunningham on "Happy Days" and its spinoff "Joanie Loves Chachi" has died ... TMZ has learned.

We're told authorities in Indiana got a call just after 4 PM ET Saturday from someone reporting an "unresponsive female."  EMT's arrived and found Erin Moran's body ... she was already dead.  

Moran shot to spotlight in the early 70s when she was cast on "Happy Days" as Joanie, the younger sister of Ron Howard's character. She continued the role in 1982 alongside Scott Baio in "Joanie Loves Chachi" but the show only lasted one season.

Another star that couldn't handle the responsibility of fame and wealth. Did drugs and partied until it killed her. So sad that personal responsibility eluded her.

Actually, the results of the toxicology tests will take several weeks to be completed. No drugs in her system would be a premature conclusion, and the coroner has not said that.

Blessed with all that opportunity and potential, and yet happiness eluded her.
