She was also the voice of Charlene Sinclair on the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] sitcom ''[[Dinosaurs (TV series)|Dinosaurs]]'', [[Pebbles Flintstone]] on ''[[The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show]]'', and Rebecca Cunningham on the Disney animated series ''[[TaleSpin]]''. ==Early life== [[File:Sally Struthers yearbook photo 1965.png|thumb|upright|left|Struthers' senior class photo, 1965]] Sally Anne Struthers was born on July 28, 1947, in [[Portland, Oregon]],<ref name=Leszczak>{{cite book|title=The Odd Couple on Stage and Screen: A History with Cast and Crew Profiles and an Episode Guide|year=2014|page=119|publisher=McFarland|location=Jefferson, North Carolina|last=Leszczak|first=Bob|isbn= 978-1-476-61539-4}}</ref> the second of two daughters<ref name=testimony/><ref name="All in The Acting | Grant Magazine">{{Cite web|last=Tate|first=Toli|title=All in The Acting {{!}} Grant Magazine|date=24 April 2017 |url=https://grantmagazine.com/struthers/|access-date=2022-02-12|language=en-US}}</ref> born to Margaret Caroline (nΓ©e Jernes) and Robert Alden Struthers, a surgeon.

Around that time, Struthers debuted as Gloria Stivic on the 1970s sitcom ''[[All in the Family]]''; producer [[Norman Lear]] had found the actress dancing on ''[[The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour]]''.{{Citation needed |date=April 2021}} According to a [[WGBN|WPTT]] radio interview with Doug Hoerth in 2003,{{Citation needed |date=April 2021}} Struthers thought that [[Rob Reiner]]'s then-fiancΓ©e and later wife, [[Penny Marshall]], would get the role of Gloria, as Marshall more resembled [[Jean Stapleton]], who played [[Edith Bunker]]. Actress [[Candice Azzara]] had played the role of Gloria in a pilot episode, but was soon dropped. After a shaky start, the series became a hit beginning with its summer reruns, giving tens of millions of viewers the chance to see Gloria defending her viewpoints about negative stereotypes and inequality. Struthers won two [[Emmy Awards]] (in 1972 and 1979) for her work on the show. In 2012, Struthers recalled the serendipity that helped her land the role: {{quote|I had just gotten let go from ''[[The Tim Conway Comedy Hour]]'' because the suits in New York said that I made the show look cheap. And the producer said, "That's the whole point, we're trying to make it look like the Conway show doesn't have a budget, has no money, and so that's why there's only one Tim Conway dancer instead of a line of them like the [[June Taylor Dancers]] on ''[[The Jackie Gleason Show]]'', and there's only one musician, and they can't even afford an instrument for him, so he's standing at a music stand, humming the opening theme song." That's funny! And the suits said, "No, it makes the show look cheap." So they let me, the Tim Conway dancer, go. And if they hadn't done that, I wouldn't have been free to read for ''All in the Family''.<ref>{{cite news|title=Sally Struthers on '9 to 5,' Life and Topless Scene with Jack Nicholson|url=http://www.newsday.com/search/sally-struthers-on-9-to-5-life-and-topless-scene-with-jack-nicholson-1.3858275|date=July 24, 2012|access-date=September 13, 2012|first=Alan H.|last=Fallick|work=Newsday.com}}</ref>}} In 1977 she portrayed a housewife who was physically abused by her husband (portrayed by [[Dennis Weaver]]) in the made-for-TV movie ''[[Intimate Strangers (1977 film)|Intimate Strangers]]'', one of the first network features to depict domestic violence.{{Citation needed|date=October 2018}} [[File:All in the Family cast 1976.JPG|right|thumb|Struthers (''upper-left'') in the 1976 cast promotional photo of ''All in the Family'']] On the short-lived ''[[Archie Bunker's Place]]'' [[Spin-off (media)|spin-off]] ''[[Gloria (American TV series)|Gloria]]'' (1982β1983), Struthers reprised Gloria as a new divorcΓ©e (she became an "exchange student," when husband Mike exchanged her for one of his students).

She also had a recurring role as Bill Miller's manipulative mother, Louise, on ''[[Still Standing (American TV series)|Still Standing]]'' and regularly appeared on ''[[Gilmore Girls]]'' as Babette Dell. She also provided voices for a number of animated series such as ''[[The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show]]'' (as a teenage Pebbles Flintstone), ''[[TaleSpin]]'' (as Rebecca Cunningham) and was one of the voice stars on ABC's ''[[Dinosaurs (TV series)|Dinosaurs]]'' produced by Walt Disney and Henson Productions (as Charlene Sinclair).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://thegateway.org/online/default.asp?BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::article_id=8836E2E4-840F-4BD8-8407-A0F0D50E7943|title=Sally Struthers returns to Gateway|publisher=The Gateway|date=2015|accessdate=May 21, 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/tv-shows/TaleSpin/Rebecca-Cunningham/|title=Rebecca Cunningham|publisher=Behind The Voice Actors|accessdate=May 21, 2025}}</ref> Struthers starred in the stage production of ''[[Annie (musical)|Annie]]'' at the [[Fox Theatre (Atlanta)|Fabulous Fox Theatre]] in [[Atlanta, Georgia]],<ref>{{cite news|last1=Janich|first1=Kathy|title=Annie at the Fox Theatre|url=https://issuu.com/encoreatlanta/docs/jan12_fox|access-date=15 May 2018|work=Encore Atlanta|publisher=Atlanta Metropolitan Publishing Inc.|date=14 January 2012|pages=10β12}}</ref> and in the national tour of the production in the late 1990s.
