An actress and producer, Runyon's first acting credit came from the 1980 slasher movie "To All a Goodnight." She went on to appear in "Up the Creek," "Charles in Charge," "Magnum, P.I.," "Who's the Boss?" "A Very Brady Christmas," "Beverly Hills, 90210" and more. She also appeared in "Ghostbusters" as an ESP test subject for Dr. Peter Venkman, played by Bill Murray.

"Charles in Charge" castmate Willie Aames, who played Buddy Lembeck on the series, honored Runyon on Facebook.

"Jenn was more than a friend. She was my dear dear friend, muse, and encourager. We shared family Christmas[es] together, vacations, weekends, lunches and dinners together… We did shows together, but most of all — we LAUGHED. That was Jenn — even up until her last weeks," he wrote.

"Jenn: You were my rock. Watching you slip away these last few months was one of the hardest times of my life… I can still hear your voice so clearly," Aames continued. "No one will ever be able to fill the massive hole that’s been left in our hearts… ever. I know what you would want most is for us to live as you and our dear Todd lived. With kindness. Your marriage was an inspiration to us."

"The world has lost a truly beautiful soul… and it hurts. It’s hard," Aames said.
