Reached by phone at her Southern California spread, Moran, 31, says she was invited to the Happy Days reunion but flatly declined. The actress who once played Richie’s perky kid sister now claims that every member of the cast is “evil,” adding, “I pray for them.” She also charges some relatives with being “bloodsuckers” who are after her money and accuses the government of conspiring to hook the country on crack and speed. Moran refutes tabloid reports that she herself was a drug addict and scoffs at rumors that she has “found God.” Says Erin: “I’ve always had God.” For the past five years she has been married to Rocky Ferguson, a singer whose style she describes as “eclectic” and for whom she recently produced a demo tape. As for future acting plans, Moran, who began her TV career at age 7, says, “I want to do a movie about my life as a child star.”
NBC News is reporting late-stage cancer.Yeah this one is going to be a drug overdose or a suicide.
Interesting. I'd heard earlier this morning heroin overdose. Maybe it was both. Maybe she was in pain from the cancer and just wanted it to go away.
