Cindy Morgan, Star of ‘Tron’ and ‘Caddy Shake’ Died at 69. This sucks!
We just had an interaction with Cindy Morgan back on March 14th, 2023 during the opening of Tron Lightcycle Run here at Walt Disney World Resort.
Unfortunately, it was not the best for us, while her other stars, Bruce Boxleitner and the Creator of Tron Steve Lisberger, were very gracious and giving of their time, Cindy Morgan‘s rep blew us off. We do not hold Cindy responsible for that, we just wanted to meet the woman who played one of our favorite characters from our time growing up.
Rumor was that night she was not feeling well, and we wished her all the best. We still loved her, she could not control what the rep did, and the rep was just doing his job, but now we will never get that close again to a childhood idol, and we are saddened by the loss.
We send our condolences out to her friends, family, and past costars who still talked to her. She will always be our Yori!
This would mean we will not see her again on the big screen like we were hoping to in the new Jered Leto Tron 3.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the actress’ passing in the area, but no further details about when she died or under what circumstances were immediately available. We’ve also confirmed her body is currently at a local funeral home there in Florida.

Morgan was known for her starring role as Lacey Underall in the 1980 American sports comedy film, “Caddyshack,” alongside Hollywood stars Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, and Ted Knight.
She played the attractive niece of the owner of a country club, who drew attention from almost all of the male characters in the film.
Besides her incredible part in “Caddyshack,” Morgan made other notable appearances in movies like “Tron,” in which she portrayed the dual characters of Lora and Yori. The talented actress also starred in several films, including “Up Yours,” “Silent Fury,” “American Gigolo,” “Amanda & The Alien,” and “Galaxis.”
Morgan was also a prominent figure on the small screen, appearing in iconic shows such as “Manusco, FBI,” “The Larry Sanders Show,” “Under Suspicion,” “The Love Boat,” “CHiPs,” “Bring ‘Em Back Alive,” “The Fall Guy,” “Falcon Crest,” “Matlock,” “Hunter,” and “The Highwayman.”
Besides her work in Hollywood, Morgan was a huge supporter of the U.S. military. She was very passionate about easing the financial burden experienced by those who have been called to fight in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Morgan’s father fought in World War II.
