Moran acted sporadically after Happy Days, but she still fell into financial hardship. Moran’s downward spiral was apparent in 2012, when it was reported that she had gotten into a drunken brawl, was broke, had gotten evicted from her house, and had to live in a trailer with her mother-in-law and husband. Sadly, Moran died from throat cancer complications in April 2017.

Do Salem’s Lot, The Family Holvak, and James at Fifteen (and Sixteen) sound familiar to you? Lance Kerwin actually appeared in all of them, and played more than 20 other roles on television or film just in the 1970s. He was a very popular child star, and his first television series of that decade had been Emergency and his last one was Salem’s Lot in 1979.
