Katey Sagal, a gifted and versatile
performer capable of comedy as well as drama as well as singing, became a
popular face in the late 1980s, when she appeared in the character as Peg
Bundy, the eloquently outspoken, unorthodoxated Peg Bundy on Fox's Married...
with Children (1987). In the course of the show's long run, she was nominated
for three Golden Globes and two American Comedy Award. As well-known and
well-known as her Peg Bundy persona was, Katey assertively moved on when the
show ended its run on the air, not only starring in other sitcoms and
television movies, but playing characters that were complete opposites to the
outrageous character that first earned her nationwide attention. In 2008, she
played the role in the role of Gemma Teller Morrow (the matriarch of the Hell's
Angels-like California motorcycle group) on Sons of Anarchy (2008). Her
portrayal won her a Golden Globe Award in 2011 for Best Performance by an
Actress in a Television Series--Drama. Catherine Louise Sagal was born on the
19th of January 1954, the daughter of director and singer Sara Zwilling and
noted television and film director Boris Sagal. Born in Los Angeles, she
started performing when she was five years old. She was a vocalist and studied
acting at the California Institute of the Arts. She began her singing career as
a waitress in her "salad times" and continued to perform in the band
"The Group with No Name." Then she was fortunate enough to to connect
with Gene Simmons (and his 1970s rock band KISS) and was able to secure an
offer to work. While she was there she gained invaluable experience as a backup
recording singer for Simmons as well as other well-known 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
avantgarde stage shows.
