Today is Sally Struthers’ 70th birthday. She left home at 18 to pursue an acting career and within a few years started getting TV and movie roles. In 1970 she had stints on The Tim Conway Comedy Hour and The Smothers Brothers Summer Show, and appeared in a supporting part in Bob Rafelson’s Five Easy Pieces. Just one year later came her breakthrough, when Norman Lear cast her as Gloria Bunker Stivic on All in the Family. Struthers won the Emmy for Outstanding Featured Actress in a Comedy Series for both her first and final seasons on the show.

Struthers appeared in the 1972 heist film The Getaway, but in general was not a major movie actress. She made a long list of TV guest appearances through the years, along with regular roles on Gloria (an All in the Family spinoff) and the syndicated version of 9 to 5, and a recurring part as Babette Dell on Gilmore Girls. She has also had a substantial theater career—a little bit of Broadway, and a lot of regional theater and touring productions—and has done some periodic voice acting.
