Cindy Morgan (born Cynthia Ann Cichorski; September 29, 1954) is an American actress best known for her appearances as Lora/Yori in Tron and Lacey Underall in Caddyshack.
Morgan was born in Chicago, Illinois, to Polish and German parents. Morgan attended 12 years of Catholic school and was the first in her family to attend college.
While studying communications at Northern Illinois University, Morgan played records on the radio. A commercial station in town wanted her to report the news for them, as well, so a slight deception was needed. She used the name Cindy Morgan, taken from a story she read about Morgan le Fay when she was 12 years old.
After graduation, Morgan gave all the latest meteorological news on a television station in Rockford, Illinois. She also kept her hand in radio by working the graveyard shift at a local rock station. Then she returned to Chicago and deejayed on WSDM-FM (now WLUP-FM). During a labor dispute at the station, she literally quit on the air and walked out with a record still spinning on the turntable.
She found employment at auto shows for Fiat, which took her to both coasts. Morgan moved to Los Angeles in 1978, and became the Irish Spring girl. While she did television commercials, she studied acting, and was rewarded with her first screen role in Caddyshack, playing the role of Lacey Underall opposite Chevy Chase.
"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..."
Disney made film history with Tron, the first computer-generated film. Morgan played two characters: Lora, a computer programmer in the "real" world, and Yori, her alter-ego in the film's computer-generated flights of imagination.
Morgan has many television and film credits, including portraying two different roles on the primetime soap opera Falcon Crest during the course of its run (Lance Cumson's love interest Lori Chapman in season one, and Chase Gioberti's love interest Gabrielle Short from seasons six and seven). She made two appearances on Matlock as different characters. Her other credits include The Larry Sanders Show, Amazing Stories, CHiPs, and Bring 'Em Back Alive.
