Hollywood is sad to hear that Jennifer Runyon, a well-known actress who starred in “Ghostbusters,” “Charles in Charge,” and “A Very Brady Christmas,” has died at the age of 65. Runyon’s family said she died on Friday, March 6, after what they called a “long and difficult journey.” They were with her in her last moments.
In a touching post on social media, her family remembered Runyon as someone who loved life and was always there for her family and friends. They called her “our beloved Jennifer” and asked fans to keep her memory alive. Erin Murphy, a friend and fellow actress known for “Bewitched,” also said that Runyon had a short battle with cancer. She called her a “special lady” and sent her condolences to her children.
Runyon became famous in the 1980s when she starred with Bill Murray in the original “Ghostbusters” from 1984. She played a college student in one of the movie’s most famous early scenes. She became very popular as a result of her role in the CBS sitcom “Charles in Charge.” She also played Cindy Brady in the 1988 TV movie “A Very Brady Christmas,” which is set in the famous Brady universe.
In addition to those well-known roles, Runyon had a long career on TV, appearing on popular shows like “Magnum, P.I.,” “Quantum Leap,” “Murder, She Wrote,” and “Beverly Hills, 90210.” Later on, she stopped acting full-time and called herself “semi-retired.” She spent time with her family and taught, but she also acted again from time to time.
The actress’s husband of more than 30 years, Todd Corman, and their two children are still alive. They have written emotional tributes that talk about how kind, strong, and important she was in their lives. People in the entertainment industry and fans have been posting memories of Runyon’s work on social media. They are celebrating her legacy as a beloved 80s star whose performances still touch people all over the world.
