Only 56. I read a couple of months ago that she had lost her home and was living in a mobile home. Didn't hear the detail.

...Her downward spiral became evident in September 2012, when she was photographed looking worse for wear outside a Holiday Inn in Corydon, Indiana, after reportedly being kicked out of the trailer she shared with her husband Steve Fleischmann.

Erin was reportedly told to leave the trailer she'd been sharing with her husband by his mother, who was tired of her 'hard-partying ways.'

The National Enquirer reported earlier that year the couple had moved into the 'rundown trailer park' after losing their California home to foreclosure....

...At the time they were understood to be living off a dwindling sum of money which was the result of a payout springing from a lawsuit filed by several Happy Days cast members in April 2011.

The actress and three of her Happy Days co-stars, Don Most, Anson Williams and Marion Ross, plus the estate of Tom Bosley, who died in 2010, filed a $10 million breach-of-contract lawsuit against CBS, which owns the show.

The suit claimed cast members had not been paid for merchandising revenues owed under their contracts.

In July 2012, the actors settled their lawsuit with CBS. Each received a payment of $65,000 and a promise by CBS to continue honoring the terms of their contracts....

Us nobody's are likely better off, two nickels to rub together, if we are lucky is nice.

She died in Indiana. That beats the hell out of living in Indiana another day.

Smug comment . . . and trust you can hear banjo music from your doorstep like AL or MS, etc. which is waaay cooler than IN I'm sure of.

Why is it always the bleeders that can't take a joke?

A Smiley after your post, would have clarified the sarcasm intended.

Guess hollywierd lifestyle ,leads to a short lifespan!!!

Especially for child stars...Taken to all those smoke and mirrors dizzy heights so young.
then their adult careers get stigmatised by their young role characters so they cant get
a break as a serious adult actor.

Jodie Foster is an exception, but movies can be different story, they don't linger in ones
career like Happy Days, Brady Bunch or Married with Children would.

Shirely Temple struggled, but she didn't waste herself because of it.

I couldnt take adult MWC Ed Neil seriously when he later did a serious movie role.

Natalie Wood started very early in front of a camera,(5 I think), dead at 43.

"My mother used to tell me that the cameraman who pointed his lens out at the audience at the end of the Paramount newsreel
was taking my picture. I'd pose and smile like he was going to make me famous or something. I believed everything my mother
told me." -N.Wood.

It's Ed O'Neill you moron.

And he went on to star in one of the most successful sitcoms in the past decade. Again.
