Popular Actress Dies At 65
Jennifer Runyon, an actor known for roles in “Ghostbusters” and the sitcom “Charles in Charge,” has died, according to her friends and family.
She was 65.
“Bewitched” actor Erin Murphy shared on social media that Runyon died “after a brief battle with cancer,” calling Runyon a “special lady.”
A family representative confirmed Runyon died Friday after a “long and arduous journey that ended with her surrounded by her family.”
Runyon’s daughter, Bayley Corman, honored her mother in a tribute carousel of photos and videos on Instagram.
“All of the best parts of me came from you. I would give anything for one more day together,” Corman wrote in the caption of the post.
Corman, who followed in her mother’s footsteps as an actor and has had featured roles in “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” and “Jane the Virgin,” also shared a photo of Runyon in a hospital bed with her two dogs. “I wasn’t ready for this,” Corman’s post concluded.
Runyon made her film debut in the 1980 holiday horror movie “To All a Goodnight,” before rising to fame for her roles in “Ghostbusters” and as Gwendolyn Pierce in “Charles in Charge.”
Later, Runyon played Cindy Brady in the film “A Very Brady Christmas” and starred in “The In Crowd.”
The actor married collegiate basketball coach Todd Corman in 1991, and the couple had two children together.
After retiring, Runyon stepped back from the public eye, appearing in a few horror movies since her children were born in the early 1990s.
In a 2023 interview with a horror movie podcaster, Runyon shared that she worked with at-risk youth in high schools for six years after her retirement.
Popular Nollywood actress, Doris Ogala, has raised alarm over the presence of armed policemen in her house.
Expressing fear, the actress who captured how the police surrounded her residence very early on Tuesday, stated that she was never invited.
While calling on the public to hold the founder of Grace Nation International Ministry, Pastor Chris Okafor responsible if they don’t hear from her again, she accused the clergy man of orchestrating yet another attempt to arrest and imprison her this morning without her legal representative.
“I have police people in my house. I don’t know how they entered my house. They said they’re from Lagos. Chris doesn’t want to leave me alone. He has carried me to three different courts and more than seven police stations.
“They have surrounded my house. If you people don’t see me again, please hold Chris Okafor responsible for my disappearance”, she said.
DAILY POST reports that the fight between her and her pastor began in late 2025, when a video of Chris Okafor’s engagement to Pearl Okafor went viral on social media.
Reacting to the engagement video, Doris called out the clergy man for dumping her to marry a younger lady after years of her sexual relationships with him.
Okafor who did not deny the allegations, allegedly paid Doris $10,000 for settlement.

Sharing the video of the incident, the actress wrote “Lanko Omo Oba Dubai house got burnt. I pray may God will recover all his losses soon.”
