Cindy Morgan(1951-2023)
- Actress
- Producer
Best known as "Lacey Underall" in Le golf en folie ! (1980), and "Yori" in Tron (1982),
Cindy Morgan was born Cynthia Ann Cichorski on September 29, 1954
in Chicago, Illinois, not far from Wrigley Field. The daughter of a Polish
factory worker and a German mother, Cindy attended 12 years of Catholic
school and was the first in her family to attend college.
While studying communications at Northern Illinois University, Cindy spun 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, Cindy gave all the latest meteorological news on a TV station in Rockford, Ill. 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 (now WLUP). During a labor dispute at the station, she literally quit on the air and walked out with a record still spinning on the turntable.
Cindy found employment at auto shows for Fiat, which took her to both coasts. She moved to Los Angeles in 1978 and became the Irish Spring girl. While she did TV commercials, she studied acting, and was rewarded with her first screen role in "Caddyshack", playing the role of "Lacey Underall", an over-amorous ingénue.
