The Hollywood actress is best known for her roles in the soap opera Dallas and Flamingo Road.
She also played mom to Matthew Perry's Chandler Bing characterin the hit sitcom, Friends.
Morgan rocked a black graphic t-shirt and leggings as she carried her shopping and was worlds away from her glamour looks she was most known for.
Born Patsy Ann McClenny, she was born on February 3, 1950.
Morgan starred in many films and TV shows including Flamingo Road, Dallas, Falcon Crest, Murphy Brown, for which she was nominated for an Emmy, and The Seduction.
She was nominated for a Golden Globe award for her work on the short lived Flamingo Road.

Between the years 1967 and 1973, she was married to American inventor Jack Calmes.
She met movie producer, Mark Seiler, in 1987 and they remained together until his death in 2023.
Known for her stunning looks and toned body, Morgan recently opened up on the aging process.
"Y"ou see a lot of bad aging in Hollywood and I have always tried to live real clean. So that helps. I did no drinking, smoking and no drugs," she told the Daily Mail in 2023.
"When you are younger you just do it because you think it is a good idea. But when you're older you see other people and say I am glad I didn't do that. A lot of that hard partying ages you a lot. I am just so boring."
Morgan aded: 'It is all about a good diet too. I grew up in Texas, so if I kept eating the way I did with everything deep fat fried it would be a whole other story. Part of it is just educating yourself on nutrition and different therapies.'

Tyra Banks shares obsession with one food after addressing her new look

Former America's Next Top Model star Tyra Banks has revealed her 'excessive' love for ice-cream as she launches a brand new business following her move to Australia Tyra Banks has revealed she will eat ice cream multiple times per day as she embraces her new passion for the frozen desert. While the 51-year-old is best known for her work as a model, she has pivoted to become an ice cream proprietor in Australia. The American star has shipped her family Down Under and opened a store named SMiZE & DREAM - which has a nod to her modelling tip of smiling with the eyes. The America's Next Top Model icon has also explained that she is something of an ice-cream addict. ‌ Having moved to Australia, the businesswoman and mother has been enjoying getting to know her neighbourhood by way of the multitude of ice cream parlours in the area. And while many might be tempted to stop off at one shop to pick up a treat, Tyra has revealed she will attend no less than three. ‌ The model went on to explain that she considers no amount of ice cream too little or too excessive. Opening up to Australia's Daily Telegraph, she said: "We go full-on ice cream mode. We don't stop at one - we hit Messina, Anita, and Royal Copenhagen. Yep. Three. In a row. "Call it excessive - we call it Saturday. We're an ice cream family. And when you love frozen cream, there's no such thing as too much." Tyra has opened her SMiZE & DREAM parlour in Sydney's Darling Harbour this month and has been promoting her new business. She also told the Daily Mail Australia how much she is loving her new life Down Under. She said: "I was coming for about a year and a half and just fell in love with it,' she said. 'And I said, should we make this move? And here we are. "I love Darling Harbour because of this park. Tumbalong Park is magical... I have friends that live an hour and a half away and on the weekends they drive here just to go to the water and put their feet in with the kids. ‌ "There's a playground for older kids, one for younger kids, Darling Square nearby, the harbour – it just felt natural." She went on to explain she named one of her new ice cream flavours after herself. Describing the salted sweet cream, butter-roasted pecans and savoury caramel butter flavour, she gushed: "My favourite flavour is called Tyra's Favourite – very creative, isn't it? ... It's not your traditional ice cream taste – it has this surprising, rich sensation in the mouth." ‌ Last year, Tyra opened up about her modelling past and future as she prepared to return to the catwalk for a Victoria's Secret show. In an empowering message she said: "50-year-old women, insecure women - I just felt like there was more, and I look at the playback and I'm like, boom, boom, boom. "I was stomping because I felt like I was a vessel more so than it's just all about me. It was different." She also discussed her thoughts on the way her body has changed over the years, saying: "Also what was different is my boobies were like 10 times bigger because I was about 40-50 pounds (18-22 kg) heavier on this runway than when I retired. So I was like, 'Don't fall out, don't fall out.'"
