Sally Struthers

Sally Struthers (born July 28, 1947) is an American actress, spokesperson and activist. She is probably best known for playing Archie Bunker's daughter, Gloria Stivic on the 1970s sitcom, All in the Family and its spin-offs. Other roles she's known for include Babette Dell on Gilmore Girls. She also voiced the character of Rebecca Cunningham on the Disney cartoon series TaleSpin and Charlene Sinclair on the Disney produced show Dinosaurs.

Outside of acting she is best known for appearing in commercials for Christian Children's Fund, pleading with viewers to donate to help starving children in developing countries. Her charity work has been mocked throughout the years on shows such as In Living Color, Married... with Children, South Park and Grey's Anatomy, typically pointing out how obese she is while standing next to starving children and asking viewers for money.

She also served as a spokesperson for distance learning program, ICS Learn (International Correspondence School).

On Married... with Children, she is the constant target of barbs, particularly from Peg and held up as the perfect example of what not to be.
