'''Loni Anderson''' (born August 5, 1945) is an American actress. She played receptionist [[Jennifer Marlowe]] on the [[CBS]] sitcom ''[[WKRP in Cincinnati]]'' (1978–1982), which earned her three [[Golden Globe Awards]] and two [[Emmy Award]] nominations.

== Early life ==
Anderson was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, the daughter of Klaydon Carl "Andy" Anderson, an environmental chemist, and Maxine Hazel (née Kallin), a model. She grew up in suburban [[Roseville, Minnesota]]. As a senior at [[Roseville Area High School|Alexander Ramsey Senior High School]], she was voted Queen of the Valentine's Day Winter Formal of 1963.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.looper.com/874006/what-happened-to-loni-anderson/ |title=What Happened To Loni Anderson? |date=March 7,  2023 |website=Looper |first=Sylvia-Marah |last=Boune |access-date=April 1, 2024 |archive-date=April 1, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240401205731/https://www.looper.com/874006/what-happened-to-loni-anderson/ |url-status=live }}</ref> As she states in her autobiography ''My Life in High Heels'', her father was going to name her Leilani, but realized that when she got to her teen years, it was likely to be twisted (into "[[Sexual intercourse|Lay]]" Lani) so it was changed to simply Loni.<ref name=book>{{cite book |first1=Loni |last1=Anderson |first2=Larkin |last2=Warren |title=My Life in High Heels |year=1995 |location=New York |publisher=Morrow |oclc=32703710 |isbn=978-0-688-14272-8 |page=7 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/mylifeinhighheel00ande/page/6/mode/2up?q=Leilani |via=archive.org}}</ref>

== Career ==
Her acting debut came with a bit part in the film ''[[Nevada Smith]]'' (1966), starring [[Steve McQueen]]. After that, she was mostly unemployed as an actress for nearly a decade, then she received guest roles on television series in the mid-1970s. She appeared in two episodes of ''[[S.W.A.T. (1975 TV series)|S.W.A.T.]]'', then on the sitcom ''[[Phyllis (TV series)|Phyllis]]'', and the detective series ''[[Police Woman (TV series)|Police Woman]]'' and ''[[Harry O]]''.

She auditioned for the role of Chrissy on the sitcom ''[[Three's Company]]''. She did not win the role, but in 1978 guest-starred as Susan Walters on a season two episode,<ref>{{cite news |url=http://mentalfloss.com/article/76954/16-regal-facts-about-threes-company |title=16 Regal Facts About Three's Company |website=Mental Floss |first=Roger |last=Cormier |date=January 1, 2016 |access-date=March 18, 2018 |archive-date=March 18, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180318120512/http://mentalfloss.com/article/76954/16-regal-facts-about-threes-company |url-status=live }}</ref> an appearance that brought her to the attention of the ABC network.{{Citation needed |date=March 2024}}

Anderson's most famous acting role came as the sultry receptionist [[Jennifer Marlowe]] on the sitcom ''[[WKRP in Cincinnati]]'' (1978–1982). She was offered the role when producers saw a poster of her in a red swimsuit—a pose similar to [[Farrah Fawcett]]'s famous [[Farrah Fawcett red swimsuit poster|1976 poster]]. [[Hugh Wilson (director)|Hugh Wilson]], the sitcom's creator, later said Anderson got the role because her body resembled [[Jayne Mansfield]]'s and because she possessed the innocent sexuality of [[Marilyn Monroe]].{{Citation needed |date=March 2024}}

[[File:Clint & Sondra & Burt & Loni.jpg|thumb|left|[[Clint Eastwood]], [[Sondra Locke]], Burt Reynolds and Loni Anderson at the premiere of ''[[City Heat]]'' (1984)]]

Although the series suffered in the [[Nielsen ratings]] throughout most of its four-year run, it had a strong following among teens, young adults, and disc jockeys. Owing to her rising popularity as the series' so-called "main attraction", Anderson walked out on the sitcom during the 1980 summer hiatus, requesting a substantial salary increase. While she was renegotiating her contract, she starred in the television film ''[[The Jayne Mansfield Story]]'' (1980). When the network agreed to her requests, she returned to the series and remained until its cancellation in 1982. 

Aside from her acting career, Anderson has become known for her colorful personal life, particularly her relationship with and marriage to actor [[Burt Reynolds]]. They starred in the comedy film ''[[Stroker Ace]]'' (1983), which was a critical and box-office failure. She later appeared as herself in the romantic comedy ''[[The Lonely Guy]]'' (1984), starring [[Steve Martin]]. She voiced Flo, a [[collie]] in the animated film ''[[All Dogs Go to Heaven]]'' (1989).

[[File:Loni Anderson 1992.jpg|thumb|Anderson in 1992]]
In the mid-to-late 1980s, Anderson was teamed with ''[[Wonder Woman (TV series)|Wonder Woman]]'' actress [[Lynda Carter]] in the television series ''[[Partners in Crime (American TV series)|Partners in Crime]]'' in 1984. She appeared in television adaptations of classic Hollywood films, such as ''[[A Letter to Three Wives]]'' (1985) with [[Michele Lee]], and ''[[Sorry, Wrong Number]]'' (1989), both of which received little attention. After starring in ''[[Coins in the Fountain]]'' (1990), Anderson received considerable praise for her portrayal of comedian actress [[Thelma Todd]] in the television movie ''[[White Hot: The Mysterious Murder of Thelma Todd]]'' (1991). In the early 1990s, she attempted to co-star with her husband [[Burt Reynolds]] on his sitcom ''[[Evening Shade]]'', but the network was not fond of the idea, thus replacing Anderson with [[Marilu Henner]]. After [[Delta Burke]] was fired from the sitcom ''[[Designing Women]]'' in 1991, producers offered Anderson a role as Burke's replacement, which never came to pass because the network refused to pay Anderson the salary she had requested. She agreed to return as [[Jennifer Marlowe]] on two episodes of ''[[The New WKRP in Cincinnati]]'', a sequel to the original series. In 1993, Anderson was added to the third season of the sitcom ''[[Nurses (American TV series)|Nurses]]'', playing hospital administrator Casey MacAffee. Although her entering the series was an attempt to boost the series' ratings, the series was canceled shortly thereafter.{{Citation needed |date=March 2024}}

In April 2018, Anderson was seen promoting ''WKRP in Cincinnati'' and other television series on the [[MeTV]] television network.

Though less frequent since the start of the 21st century, Anderson continues to act in television series, and played a lead role in the 2016–2020 [[web series]] ''My Sister is So Gay''.

On October 3, 2023, it was announced that Anderson would feature in the [[Lifetime (TV network)|Lifetime]] film, ''[[Ladies of the '80s: A Divas Christmas]]''. According to the official synopsis, the movie follows five soap opera divas readying for a reunion show who take on playing cupid during Christmas to bring together their director and producer as they all learn the meaning of the true Christmas spirit. The ensemble cast is made up of Anderson, [[Linda Gray]], [[Morgan Fairchild]], [[Donna Mills]], and [[Nicollette Sheridan]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2023/10/03/legendary-actresses-loni-anderson-morgan-fairchild-linda-gray-donna-mills-and-nicollette-sheridan-join-together-for-ladies-of-the-80s-a-divas-christmas-for-lifetimes-its-a-wonderful-lifetime-holiday-slate-164310/20231003lifetime01/|title=Legendary Actresses Loni Anderson, Morgan Fairchild, Linda Gray, Donna Mills and Nicollette Sheridan Join Together for "Ladies of the '80s: A Divas Christmas" for Lifetime's It's a Wonderful Lifetime Holiday Slate|publisher=The Futon Critic|date=October 3, 2023|access-date=October 3, 2023|archive-date=May 19, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240519102651/http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2023/10/03/legendary-actresses-loni-anderson-morgan-fairchild-linda-gray-donna-mills-and-nicollette-sheridan-join-together-for-ladies-of-the-80s-a-divas-christmas-for-lifetimes-its-a-wonderful-lifetime-holiday-slate-164310/20231003lifetime01/|url-status=live}}</ref>

== Personal life ==
Anderson has been married four times.
