Updated on January 20th, 2023 by Abigail Thomas: Sadly, Lisa Robin Kelly passed away in 2013. Before she got caught up in drug abuse and the law, Kelly was best known for portraying Laurie Forman in the hit sitcom That '70s Show. She was re-cast during the show after getting into trouble, and actress Christina Moore stepped in for the final seasons to play the role of Eric's older sister.
Lisa Robin Kelly was born in Southington, Connecticut in 1970. She earned a BFA in acting from The Theater School at DePaul University in Chicago in 1992. Kelly went on to have guest roles on the X Files and Days Of Our Lives.
But fans were left confused when she abruptly left the show midway through the third season. At the time the official line was that her character left home to "attend beauty school." She returned to the show in the fifth season, but only appeared for four episodes. Kelly was eventually replaced by Christina Moore in the sixth season. In an interview with ABC News, Kelly admitted that she lost her job on That 70s Show because of a drinking problem. Kelly attributed her abuse to trauma following a miscarriage.
