Sally Ann Struthers (born July 28, 1948 in Portland, Oregon) is an American actress, best known for her portrayal of Archie Bunker's daughter, Gloria Bunker Stivic, on the popular and groundbreaking 1970s sitcom All in the Family.
She has also acted in other television series, including being a regular performer on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and playing the titular role in the short-lived All in the Family spin-off Gloria (1982-1983), on stage, and in made-for-TV movies and feature films. She regularly appears on the drama/comedy Gilmore Girls.
She has also provided voices for a number of animated series such as TaleSpin (as Rebecca Cunningham), and Dinosaurs (as Charlene Sinclair).
Struthers, who was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, is a long-time spokeswoman for the Christian Children's Fund, advocating on behalf of impoverished children in developing countries. Struthers, who in recent years has become overweight, was parodied in the Starvin' Marvin and the Starvin' Marvin in Space episodes of South Park as a Jabba the Hutt-like character. Struthers' weight gain came about after years of struggling to stay thin and attractive for her role on All in the Family, where she was commonly seen in tight blouses and slacks.
