Sally Struthers

American actress Sally Struthers was born Sally Ann Struthers on July 28, 1947, in Portland, Oregon, the daughter of a surgeon. Raised there, she pursued acting after high school. She moved to Los Angeles and trained at the Pasadena Playhouse College of Theatre Arts, earning a scholarship as its 'most promising student.' She performed briefly in regional stock plays before finding her break as a commercial actress and dancer on TV.

A recurring dancer and performer on such variety shows as The Smothers Brothers Summer Show (1970) and The Tim Conway Comedy Hour (1970), she showed starlet promise in films, offering ditsy support in the Jack Nicholson starrer Five Easy Pieces (1970) and the chase film The Getaway (1972), which starred Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw. Then came the iconic series All in the Family (1971). Also starring Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton as conservative parents Archie and Edith, and Rob Reiner as liberal husband Mike, Struthers went on to win two supporting Emmy Awards and four Golden Globe nominations as kewpie-doll Gloria Bunker Stivic, Archie Bunker's 'little goil.'

Now in her late seventies, she has been active in the industry for over five decades. She stands 5'1" with blonde hair and blue eyes. Her real, natural figure measures 35–24–35. That petite frame and comedic timing made her a household name. Sally Struthers remains a recognizable figure from a golden era of television.
