Morgan gained fame for her portrayal of the blonde bombshell Lacey in the 1980 sports comedy “Caddyshack,” featuring Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, and Rodney Dangerfield. Reflecting on her debut film, Morgan mentioned in a 2012 interview, “‘Caddyshack’ was my first film, and I’ll say that the end product was so completely different. It was originally about the caddies. So at first, I had nothing to lose to audition. It was fun. All I did was focus on making the person sweat. Look ’em in the eye, do that thing many women know how to do.
“After making guest appearances on series like “The Love Boat,” “Vega$,” and “Chips,” she took on the roles of computer programmer Lora Baines and her alter-ego Yori in the 1982 sci-fi film “Tron.” She returned to the “Tron” world as the voice of Ma3a in the video game “Tron 2.0,” released in 2003.
Throughout the ’80s and early ’90s, Morgan featured in various television series, including “Bring ‘Em Back Alive,” “Hawaiian Heat,” “Masquerade,” “The Fall Guy,” “Tough Cookies,” “Beverly Hills Buntz,” “Falcon Crest,” “Matlock,” “Mancuso, FBI,” “Hunter,” and “The Larry Sanders Show.” She also contributed to TV movies such as “The Midnight Hour” (1985), “Solomon’s Universe” (1985), “Dead Weekend” (1995), “Amanda & the Alien” (1995), and “Out There” (1995).
In addition to “Caddyshack” and “Tron,” Morgan’s film credits include 1979’s “Up Yours,” 1995’s “Galaxis,” and 2006’s “Open Mic’rs.” Her final role was as the voice of Mason’s Mother in the 2022 indie film “Face of the Trinity.”
