NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CA - MAY 6: Actresses Erin Moran (L) and Marion Ross attend

I was shocked over the weekend when I heard Erin Moran, who played "Joanie" on Happy Days, had passed away at only 56.  She was good friend with co start Cathy Silvers who played "Jenny Piccalo".  Many suspected a heroin overdoes, but an autopsy report says no.  More on that here

Although they were close Cathy didn't know Erin was suffering from stage four cancer until February.
