Default "That '70s Show": Lisa Robin Kelly dead...


Former "That '70s Show" actress Lisa Robin Kelly has died at the age of 43. She played Eric Forman's older sister.

According to the website, the actress passed away in her sleep on Wednesday night at a rehab facility in California. Kelly had voluntarily checked herself into rehab for treatment earlier this week, her agent told the website, explaining that she "had been fighting demons for a while and finally lost her battle."

Kelly was best known for her role as the promiscuous Laurie Forman on FOX's "That's '70's Show," though she only made headlines in recent years for a string of DUI and assault arrests.

That really sucks, she was a real looker on that show. I don't think I saw her in anything after that show though. ...

If she died of an overdose, that's not going to be good for the rehab facility's reputation.

I agree their success rate is low, but not many people die there from overdoses. (if that is what happened)

Regardless, whatever state agency certifies them is going to be all over that place.

she didn't last too long on that show; she had major substance problems - even back then.

I have acquaintances that this has happened to, whether suicide or just whacked out on Scooby snacks ... Our society is full of these people who have unconquerable "demons".
You just hear of the celebrities.

Too much money too soon, to be more precise. I just read an interview of Jennifer Lawrence ("The Hunger Games") whose salary for the sequel has jumped to $10M. She frankly admiited that she wasn't prepared for the celebrity and the money, maybe still isn't, and that she was scared.

In "Wired" the book about John Belushi, it said the cast members on SNL were paid $600 a week in the first season. The second season, they were paid $10,000 a week. In a way, it's amazing they didn't all die like Belushi.

Too bad she couldn't overcome her problems. She was definitely a good looking woman in the day. In the mugshots she looked like a meth head. Unfortunate ending either way.
