Jennifer Runyon’s “Charles in Charge” co-star Scott Baio mourned the late actress in a touching Instagram post Sunday.
“I had the extreme pleasure of working with Jennifer Runyon on ‘Charles In Charge,’” Baio, 65, told his followers over the weekend in a joint post with their former co-star Josie Davis. “She was a sweet, kind, and generous actress to work with.
“Jennifer played my longtime girlfriend on ‘Charles In Charge,’ however, she was also a wonderful mother [to son Wyatt and daughter Bayley] and wife [to Todd Corman],” he continued.
Runyon acted as Gwendolyn Pierce on the sitcom between 1984 and 1990, with Baio portraying the show’s titular character.
“We last saw each other at The Hollywood Christmas Parade in late 2019,” he continued.
The actor went on to send his “deepest condolences, prayers and sympathy to [Runyon’s] family during this difficult time.”
He concluded, “God bless her and her family. 🙏”
Baio’s social media upload included smiling red carpet snaps from the 2019 parade mentioned in his caption, at which he rocked a “Charles in Charge” jacket.
Runyon’s family members announced on Sunday that the “Ghostbusters” star died at 65 two days prior.
“This past Friday night our beloved Jennifer passed away. It was a long and arduous journey that ended with her surrounded by her family,” her loved ones wrote.
“She will always be remembered for her love of life and her devotion to her family and friends. I know from above she’s looking down on all of us with her beautiful smile. Rest in peace our Jenn.”
Runyon’s rep has yet to respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
While Runyon’s cause of death has not been revealed, “Bewitched” actress Erin Murphy gave insight into her late pal’s health struggles in a touching Instagram tribute.
“So sad to share that my friend Jennifer Runyon Corman has passed away after a brief battle with cancer,” she wrote of the “special lady” over the weekend.
“Some people you just know you’ll be friends with before you even meet.”
In addition to “Ghostbusters” and “Charles in Charge,” Runyon is best known for playing Cindy Brady in the 1988 movie “A Very Brady Christmas.”
