Sally Struthers Then
Sally Struthers won over American hearts as Gloria Stivic, the daughter of Edith and Archie Bunker in Norman Lear’s groundbreaking sitcom All in the Family. She wasn’t expecting to get the part because Candice Azarra, who played Gloria in the pilot episode, had been offered it first. To make room for Sally, Candice was quickly discarded. Gloria Struthers was known for her blonde pigtails and defiant demeanor when dealing with her controlling father. From then on, Sally’s life was smooth sailing as she rose to become one of America’s most well-known television personalities.

Although it’s unrealistic to expect the years to be kind to everyone, Sally hasn’t let her age stop her from doing her job. She has long been a supporter of the Christian Children’s Fund (now ChildFund), which assists hungry and impoverished children in developing countries. In 2014, she played Dolly in the 50th-anniversary production of Hello, Dolly! Struthers was satirized twice on South Park in episodes about a hungry boy named “Starvin’ Marvin.” The joke is about Struthers’ excessive consumption in comparison to her efforts to help the hungry, implying that she is hoarding food. The characterization reportedly upset her, which we can understand. Sally, ignore the naysayers and keep doing your best.
