Show Business

Lisa Robin Kelly was a talented Hollywood actress best known as the flirty character Laurie Forman on the Fox sitcom "That '70s Show". Kelly was a cheerleader in high school who graduated from DePaul University in Chicago with a bachelors degree in Fine Arts. Upon moving to Hollywood after graduation, Kelly began landing screen parts during the early 1990s, notably featured on "Murphy Brown", "Married with Children", "The X-Files", and "Charmed" among other series, and making a rare movie appearance in the low-budget horror sequel "Amityville: Dollhouse" in 1996 and "Jawbreaker". In 1998, she found her signature part as the vapid and promiscuous Laurie on "That '70s Show," a role that she held fairly steadily until drinking problems got in the way of her performances in the middle of the 3rd season. Kelly took a year off and came back for 4 episodes in the 5th seasons only to be removed and replaced. Kelly's post-"That '70s Show" was apparently a troubled one, with her alcoholism leading to a downward spiral that ended in her death in August 2013 while staying at a substance abuse treatment facility.

What If ….

If Kelly had stayed sober and performed in all 8 seasons (200 shows) she would have received nearly $100,000 in residuals every year that That 70s Show was syndicated in reruns. As it stands, That 70s Show can be seen in reruns all around the world and remains strong even after a decade since the last episode was taped.
