    She was living in a trailer and said to be broke.

    She could have been helped by being properly paid by CBS when they used her image on a slot machine (along with other Happy Days stars) without permission. Despite a lawsuit, CBS ended up settling for a tiny amount of money, claiming the slot machine barely made any money: http://pokerfraudalert.com/forum/sho...sit-on-it-quot

    I thought Moran and the others got screwed there. They should have won punitive damages. CBS knowingly violated their contract with the actors.

    With that said, Moran was said to have a drinking problem, among other issues. Even Henry Winkler tweeted that he hoped she would find peace now that "she wanted so badly on earth", implying that she was troubled.



    I'm surprised Moran didn't sign up for one of those LOL services where people can pay-per-minute to have phone calls with washed up (and broke) celebrities.

    Also, interesting that Joanie barely outlived Big Al, who died only 18 months ago at age 96.

    it's sad when actors/actresses end up broke and destitute.

    RIP.

    She def. looked pretty bad even for 56 near the end. This is not an "aging normally" look. Even if she wasn't doing Hollywood things to keep herself "up" she wouldn't have looked this way. IMHO, drugs/hard living for sure...

    Big Al lived to be 96, wow.
    I'm going to go out on a limb and say prescription opiates, smoking and drinking.
    Meanwhile we have some reefer madness AG cracking down on weed.
    Thanks Citizens United.

    Heroin overdose, which at this point is usually code for dope spiked with fentanyl.

    Apparently she had cancer as well.. which does explain possibly the role of opioids in all this.
