As I was just posting, I think Struthers reached her Zenith as a performer when she was just another leggy dancer on "The Smothers Brothers Show" in the late 1960s.
Okay--now go ahead and FLAME ME!
I can take it!!! :)

Posted: 11/5/04 at 4:09pmWho caught her story arc on General Hospital a couple of years ago as the evil yet kooky Jennifer Smith? Her scenes with Anthony Geary were hiLARious.

Struthers was NOT the original choice to play Gloria in "All in the Family."
Originally, the part was slated for Rob Reiner's then real-life wife, Penny Marshall.
However, it was ultimately determined that Marshall looked too Jewish to be a "shiksa" Bunker, so they went looking for a blonde-haired, fair-skinned actress.

That must have been wonderful!

Posted: 11/5/04 at 4:20pmSally was playing Miss Hannigan in ANNIE several years back at AMT San Jose. I went to the show, hoping to get a good laugh at what a mediocre job I expected her to do. I got a good laugh alright, several hundred of them, but they were all because she was freakin incredible and had me gasping for air every time she was onstage. She was awesome. Stole almost every scene and is probably the best Hannigan I've seen live.

OK, I'll Appreciate.
I Appreciate the fact that she "borrowed" her crying jags from Lucille Ball's. :)

Posted: 11/5/04 at 5:36pmI have to say that when Ms. Struthers appears on the "Gilmore Girls" it brings a little smile to my face.

I LOVED Sally in that Lifetime movie, In The Best Interest of the Children where she was fighting with Sarah Jessica Parker for custody of the kids.
Rathnait, Sally was the voice of Charlene on Dinosaurs =)

Posted: 11/5/04 at 6:17pmEverythingisRENT, I LOVE that movie!! I watch it absolutely every time it's on. It's also some of Parker's best work, in my opinion.

Posted: 11/5/04 at 6:25pmMs. Struthers is participating in the Actor's Fund benefit we're going to tomorrow night, and I'm really looking forward to seeing her. All in the Family is my favorite TV show, and she was absolute perfection on it.
#22re: Sally Struthers Appreciation Society
Posted: 11/5/04 at 6:37pmYes, actually, DGrant's mention of that benefit on another thread is what ultimately inspired this one! Thanks, DG!

Posted: 11/5/04 at 6:55pmA friend of mine worked with her last summer in a production of "Annie" where Sally played Miss Hannigan. They said she was really good.
