RIP Erin Moran yet her major character Joanie Cunningham died years ago as her real life became a poster woman for the destruction of a child actress. A story that has been told by Hollywood over and over again where drugs alcohol replace the pain of not being in front of the spotlight. Erin Moran seemed to be one that could avoid such a path as she was surrounded by cast members who continued to move up the Hollywood channels (Ron Howard, Henry Winkler) who could have kept her on a rung or two as long as she wouldn’t allow such poison in her soul. It was a slow death that was recorded on Extra and other reality shows in which we saw the ending coming but couldn’t stop her brakes. RIP Erin Moran may your death inspire Hollywood do more to protect it’s greatest asset their talent.
