Katey Sagal

A versatile, gifted actor, Katey Sagal is a skilled singer and actress who excelled at both drama and comedy. She was most well-known for her role in the role of Peg Bundy. She was a dazzlingly distinctive, bold character on the Fox show Married... with Children (1987). She was awarded two American Comedy Award nominations and three Golden Globes during its lengthy run. As popular and identifiable as her Peg Bundy persona was, Katey assertively moved on after the show went off the air, not just acting in TV shows and sitcoms, but portraying characters that were polar opposites of the outrageous role that initially brought her national attention. She played Gemma Teller Morrow in Sons of Anarchy (2008) as the matriarch of the Hell's Angels-like California biker family. Her performance in 2011 earned her the Golden Globe Award for Best Performance of an actress in a Television Series Drama. Catherine Louise Sagal was the daughter of Sara Zwilling, a singer and Boris Sagal, a noted television and film director. At age 5, she began performing in Los Angeles. She also trained in voice and acting at the California Institute of the Arts, Valencia, California. She was a singing waitress during her "salad" times. After her time with "The Group Without a Name," she got a break when she teamed up with Gene Simmons and KISS, the 1970s' rock group. She also worked as a backing singer for recordings by Simmons as well as other stars, such as Bob Dylan (Olivia Newton-John), Etta James, and Tanya Tucker. She also performed live with Bette Midler as one of Bette's "Harlettes," in Bette’s avant-garde stage productions.
