Subject: Where is Sally Struthers?

Written By: Sammy Reed on 11/30/05 at 2:14 pm

I haven't seen Sally Struthers lately. Not on starving children commercials, not on home study commercials, nothing. So, does anybody know if she's doing anything?

The daughter of a Portland doctor, Sally Ann Struthers left home at 18, determined to become a star. The 5' 1", frizzy-haired Ms. Struthers attended classes at the Pasadena Playhouse, then worked as a singer, dancer and commercial actress before the breaks began arriving in rapid succession in 1970. By the end of that year, she had been seen on TV as a comedy-ensemble player on The Smothers Brother Comedy Hour and a chorus girl (in fact, the only chorus girl) on The Tim Conway Comedy Hour; she'd played a small but attention-grabbing role in the Jack Nicholson film Five Easy Pieces; and she'd provided the voice for Pebbles Flintstone on the animated Pebbles and Bamm Bamm Show. Oh, before we forget: also in 1970, Struthers was cast as Gloria Bunker Stivic on the groundbreaking TV sitcom All in the Family. During her seven-season stint as Gloria, she shared a 1972 "Best Supporting Actress" Emmy with The Mary Tyler Moore Show's Valerie Harper. She also took time out to deliver an image-busting performance as the wife of kidnap victim Jack Dodson in Sam Peckinpah's The Getaway (1972), and to star in such made-for-TV films as Aloha Means Goodbye (1974), Hey, I'm Alive (1975) and The Great Houdinis (1976). In 1975, Struthers very nearly walked off All in the Family over a much-publicized salary dispute; she left the series when her contract ended in 1978, returning briefly to appear in an episode titled "California Here We Are"--and winning a second Emmy as a result. After performing in additional television movies, Sally Struthers returned to series television in 1982 as the star of Gloria, an All in the Family spin-off which recast the actress in the role that made her famous. Despite initially good ratings, Gloria went off the air after only one year. After staring in a female version of Neil Simon's The Odd Couple on Broadway, Sally accepted the role of klutzy divorcee Marsha McMurray Shrimpton in the 1986 syndicated sitcom 9 to 5. Around this same time, Struthers also began appearing as the TV spokesperson for a charitable organization serving malnourished Third-World children. Through it all, Sally Struthers has kept busy in a variety of show-business ventures, including voiceover assignments on such series as Talespin and Dinosaurs, and touring productions of the hit Broadway musicals Grease and Annie. Sally is currently featured on television favorites Gilmore Girls and Still Standing. She also frequently brings her talent "to the people" by appearing in local theaters across the country.


This is her biography.Towards the end of it is what she's been doing lately.

ARE YOU NUTS ??? She's one of the crazy neighbors in the show Gilmore Girls!  She's working quite a bit, even tho her part's not that crucial to the plot.
