RIP Cindy Morgan

The lede says she appeared in Caddyshack where she appeared alongside actor Bill Murray.

Murray was probably the only male star she didn’t appear beside.

But RIP to her.
 
“She was plucked more times than the Rose of Tralee.” Among the many great lines in Caddyshack … after Danny gives Lacey a few extra pats of butter.

RIP to a late 1970s/early 1980s beauty.

I still remember seeing her walk onto the first tee for the first time.
Gracious.
Fairly certain a young teenage Chef killed some kittens that night.
 
That's very sad to hear. Saw her in person once about ten years ago at a comic book convention. Seemed lovely. RIP.
 
I’m going to have to watch it again. For the 50-somethingth time.
 
Bill Murray has sponsored a charity golf tournament for more than 20 years at the World Golf Hall of Fame courses. I got a chance to meet Cindy Morgan at one of them and she is a charmer. Also a cool chick you could have a beer with and maybe even tell a dirty joke, and get one in return. She also had great insight into the making of the movie. Said Rodney Dangerfield was like everyone's favorite crazy uncle but a perfect gentleman around women. Admitted a lot of drugs were done in the six weeks it took to shoot the movie (hey, it was the late 70s bordering on the 80s). She also said no one liked Chevy Chase (I've read that he's an asshole) and said when she turned to him in the movie when he wanted to do acupuncture with a toothpick and said, "I'll kill you," she said she really did want to kill him.

RIP to a classy dame.
 
Hard to have a crush on a computer program, but she was cute in Tron. I remember seeing that movie in Pleasanton, Calif., with a bunch of Silicon Valley nerds who laughed at all the inside jokes that went over my head.

RIP, Cindy.

There are a couple of books about Don Peters and Peter Guber that described the making of Caddyshack. It was crazy. It was Dangerfield's first movie. After his first funny scene he couldn't understand why nobody laughed. The scene between Murray and Chase was done at the last minute because the two had no scenes together and was unscripted. The actor who played the Irish waitress has an odd story. I think Ted Knight was pissed off during the making of the movie because everyone else was ****ing around.

Plucked at age 13 by Pinto.

I think some folks might be confusing Lacey Underalls with the Irish girl who played Danny’s gf. Lacey Underalls, aka, Madonna with Meatballs, is the actress Cindy Morgan, who passed away.

Sarah Holcomb.

I knew someone during that time who was from the same area as she, claimed to know her and shared things.

Hope she found her way in life.

The character of Dorri Lawrence in the film Stateside,
an actress who suffers from schizophrenia, is based on Holcomb.

NEW YORK POST
December 29, 2006 -- "ANIMAL House" boosted the careers of most of its young stars like John Belushi (Bluto), Kevin Bacon (Chip), Karen Allen (Katy), Tim Matheson (Otter), Tom Hulce (Pinto) and Stephen Furst (Flounder). But one of the brightest, Sarah Holcomb - who at 18 played the mayor's virginal 13-year-old daughter who passes out half-naked in the slovenly Delta frat house - tragically fell off the map. As Chris Miller, who co-wrote the screenplay of the 1978 mrskin.com: "She was young, younger than the rest of us. We were a fast crowd. Drugs were everywhere. She fell into what, for lack of a better term, you would have to call bad company. And got [bleeped] up on drugs. Coke, primarily, if memory serves," Miller says. "[She] wound up in some home for [bleeped]-up young girls . . . wound up sort-of erased from life. I don't know what became of her. Sad story." Holcomb only made three more films before vanishing into obscurity after "Caddyshack."

I don't believe anyone was confusing the actresses. The "Rose of Tralee" quote from Maggie just happed to come up referring to Lacey, so both were referenced in this thread.
