Lisa Robin Kelly, the actress who portrayed Forman’s snarky, troublemaking sister Laurie on That ’70s Show, passed away in rehab on Wednesday night in California of cardiac arrest.
In 2012, Kelly admitted that she was replaced on That ’70s Show (her character went away to beauty school) because she “was guilty of a drinking problem.” Christina Moore (90210) ended up returning to fulfill the role in the sixth season.
TMZ points out that Kelly was “arrested at least 4 times in the past 3 years for DUI, spousal abuse and assault” and that her boyfriend believes her death was stress-related.
Her most recent brush with the law occurred on June 23, when she failed to pass a sobriety test after police found her parked illegally on Interstate 5.
