Loni Kaye Anderson (born August 5, 1946 in St. Paul, Minnesota) is an American actress, best known as the wife of Burt Reynolds from 1988 to 1993.
As she tells it in her autobiography, My Life in High Heels, her father was originally going to name her "Leiloni", but then realized to his horror that when she got to her teen years it was liable to be twisted into "Lay Loni". So it was changed to just plain "Loni".
Her most famous acting role came as the highly-paid, sexy, intelligent secretary Jennifer Marlowe on the sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati. She has also been in various movies. Loni made a series of cameo roles on television shows in the late 1990s and early 2000s, as the Spellmans' redneck cousin on Sabrina, The Teenage Witch and Vallery Irons' mother on V.I.P.. Most recently she starred in the UPN flop, The Mullets.
