Katey Sagal Career

One role was in the Columbo installment “Candidate for Crime,” as a receptionist which was directed by her father. Sagal’s first major role was as a newspaper columnist in the series Mary from 1985t 1986 starring Mary Tyler Moore. This led to her being cast as Peggy Bundy on the sitcom Married… with Children from 1987 to 1997. Sagal portrayed the lower-class, sex-starved, lazy and free-spending wife of shoe salesman Al Bundy. The series ran for 11 years. Sagal brought her own red bouffant wig to audition for the role and with the producers’ approval, the look transitioned into the show.
After Married… with Children ended, several more television films followed; Sagal also guest starred as the voice of Spinelli’s mother on the children’s cartoon Recess. Matt Groening chose Sagal in 1998, to provide the character voice of the purple-haired mutant spaceship captain, Leela, in his science-fiction animated comedy Futurama. The show developed a cult following, and after four seasons it was cancelled. Despite that, syndication on Adult Swim and Comedy Central increased the show’s popularity and led Comedy Central to commission a season of Futurama direct-to-DVD films, which the network later retransmitted as a 16-episode fifth season. Sagal reprised her role as Leela in these films and in the sixth season that began airing June 24, 2010. The series ended in 2013. Sagal guest-starred in three episodes of That ’70s Show as Edna Hyde, Steven Hyde’s mother. In 2000, she starred in the short-lived NBC sitcom Tucker.
In 2002, Sagal was cast in the sitcom 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter as the wife of John Ritter. Ritter had completed only three episodes of the second season before his death and in 2005, the show was cancelled after its third season. Sagal made two appearances in 2005 and 2006 on Lost as Helen Norwood. Sagal had a role in the season finale of The Winner as Glen Abbot’s former teacher in 2007, with whom Glen has his first sexual experience.
Sagal starred as Gemma Teller Morrow from 2008 to 2014, on the TV show Sons of Anarchy, whose creator, Kurt Sutter, she had married in 2004, four years before the series premiered. Sagal reunited with David Faustino (who had played her son Bud Bundy in Married… with Children)in January 2009 for an episode of Faustino’s show Star-ving. Sagal appeared twice more on Lost in 2010. She starred in the film House Broken with Danny DeVito in 2009. Sagal returned to the stage in Randy Newman’s musical Harps & Angels in 2010.
Sagal had a cameo on Glee as Nancy Abrams, Artie Abrams’ mother in 2013. She co-starred in Pitch Perfect 2, released in 2015, as the mother of Hailee Steinfeld’s character. Sagal next appeared in the biography drama film Bleed for This, as the mother of Vinny Pazienza.
Sagal received a star on September 9, 2014, on the Hollywood Walk of Fame; most of the Married … with Children cast – including Christina Applegate, Ed O’Neill and David Faustino – were present to celebrate the actor’s recognition. Sagal appeared on The Big Bang Theory on September 20, 2016, as Susan, the mother of Penny (Kaley Cuoco). Sagal had previously played the mother of Cuoco’s character on 8 Simple Rules. She was also a series regular on the CBS sitcom Superior Donuts.

Katey Sagal Music Career

Sagal started her career in show business as a songwriter and singer. She worked as a backing vocalist for various singers in 1973, including Bob Dylan and Tanya Tucker. In 1976, while a member of The Group with No Name, Sagal contributed to the album Moon over Brooklyn (on which she was credited as “Katie Sagal”). In 1978, Sagal was a member of Bette Midler’s backup group The Harlettes and again from 1982 to 1983. She performed backing vocals on the self-titled Gene Simmons solo album, the Molly Hatchet album Take No Prisoners, and on Olivia Newton-John’s 1985 single “Soul Kiss.” Sagal performed the song “It’s the Time for Love” that appears in the movie Silent Rage featuring Chuck Norris. She also provided the vocals for “Loose Cannons,” the theme song for the 1990 movie of the same name featuring Dan Aykroyd and Gene Hackman.
