A talented actress ahead of her time

This blonde bombshell of the '70s still knows how to pack a punch on screen

All In The Family was an incredible show that taught us timeless lessons. It launched the careers of many talented actors – including Sally Struthers. Today, Sally may look different, but she’s still in the business. Keep reading to find out what she’s up to now….

Sally Struthers will always be remembered for her role as Gloria Stivic in the ’70s sitcom All In The Family. This groundbreaking show tackled social issues and taboos in a way that hadn’t been done before. Watching old episodes today reminds us that many of the issues from then are still relevant today, presented in a comical yet thought-provoking way.

Sally’s portrayal of Gloria was both funny and heartwarming. She even sang in some episodes, showcasing her versatility as an actress. Initially, she struggled to find her place on set but eventually found her own voice. As the series gained popularity, so did Sally. She became a certified star and was recognized wherever she went.

However, after leaving All In The Family, Sally faced challenges in her career. Despite winning two Emmy awards for her role as Gloria, she didn’t receive many offers and work started to dry up. She had a few roles in other shows and became a regular panelist on the game show Match Game, but the same level of success eluded her.

Fast forward to today, Sally has found a home at the Ogunquit Playhouse in Maine. She has been performing there since the early 2000s, delighting audiences with her talent on stage. In 2022, she starred in Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein and continues to advocate for impoverished children in developing countries through her work with Christian Children’s Fund.

Beyond her successful acting career, Sally is also a mother. It’s interesting to note that she initially didn’t want to have children. However, after falling in love with psychiatrist William C. Rader, she changed her mind. They had a daughter named Samantha, who followed her own path and became a clinical psychologist.

Samantha clearly inherited some of her mother’s talents. She shines not only as a psychologist but also as a singer with a voice that rivals Sally’s. Samantha shares her adventures on social media while maintaining her own practice.

At 75 years old, Sally Struthers continues to reside in Los Angeles and remains active in the entertainment industry. Although she feels overlooked in her hometown, she thrives in places like Texas, Maine, and New York where opportunities come knocking. Sally has faced hardships, including the loss of her mother to Alzheimer’s disease, but she maintains her charm, integrity, and a great sense of humor.

Sally’s greatest joy in life is making people laugh. She has dedicated her career to bringing laughter to others, and that is evident in the happiness she brings to those around her. Despite facing mean comments about her looks and weight, Sally continues to shine as a caring and genuine human being.

Sally Struthers, thank you for the years of laughter and for your dedication to helping those in need. You are fantastic, and we hope to see you perform for many more years to come!
