Sally Struthers Then
When Sally Struthers played Gloria Stivic, the daughter of Edith and Archie Bunker in Norman Lear’s groundbreaking sitcom All in the Family, she captured the hearts of millions of viewers across the United States. Her expectation was that she would not be cast in the role, which had first been offered to Candice Azarra, who played Gloria in the premiere episode of the show. Candice was immediately discarded in order to make place for Sally’s arrival. Gloria Struthers was known for her blonde pigtails and her defiant temperament, which she used to deal with her demanding father when she was younger. Sally’s life was smooth sailing from that point on, and she went on to become one of the most well-known television personalities in America.

However, Sally hasn’t let her advanced age prevent her from carrying on with her life as if nothing had happened. Throughout her career, she has supported the Christian Children’s Fund (now ChildFund), which provides assistance to hungry and destitute children in underdeveloped nations. 2014 marked the 50th anniversary production of Hello, Dolly!, in which she reprised her role as Dolly. Two episodes of South Park featured a hungry youngster named “Starvin’ Marvin,” and Struthers was satirized on both occasions. The humor is around Struthers’ excessive consumption in comparison to her efforts to help people who are hungry, with the implication that she is hoarding food supplies. She was apparently offended by the portrayal, which we can understand given the circumstances. Continue to be your best self despite the negative comments, Sally.
