Sally Struthers | 7/28/1947 | 74

Sally Struthers made a cameo in Five Easy Pieces, but she rose as Gloria Stivic in All in the Family. She won two Emmys for her compelling performance, and after leaving the series in 1978, she got her spin-off, Gloria.

Her career in the entertainment sector began in the 1960s, but she rose to prominence in the 1970s. She had a supporting role in The Getaway, but she was more successful in made-for-TV films and voiceover work. She lent her voice as the Flintstones’ daughter on The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show, Baloo’s boss Becky on TaleSpin, and Charlene Sinclair on Dinosaurs. Struthers built great career investments and took a prominent role in raising vast sums of money for needy children. Struthers has also been a spokesperson for several organizations. She was a member of the Christian Children’s Fund, pleading with the public to help alleviate starvation in developing countries, particularly Africa.
