Morgan started her movie career in 1980’s Caddyshack. In the movie, she played Lacey Underall, the bombshell niece of judge and country club founder who was played by Ted Knight. She starred alongside Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, and Bill Murray in the film that was directed by Harold Ramis.

“‘Caddyshack’ was my first film and I’ll say that the end product was so completely different, it was originally about the caddies,” Morgan said in a 2012 interview. “So at first, I had nothing to lose to audition. It was fun. All I did was focus on making the person sweat. Look ’em in the eye, do that thing many women know how to do.”
