At the age of 12, I lived in the same building as Judy Garland. Her daughter, Lorna Luft, and I were friends in the neighborhood. Judy had numerous pills on her bedside table and always slept until noon, quite similar to my mom. Our relationship was close. Naturally, I believed this was the norm and that all moms consumed such a multitude of pills," Sagal shared in her autobiography, "Grace Notes: My Recollections"
Katey Sagal rose to popularity for her portrayal of Peggy Bundy, in the beloved series "Married with Children". She played the role of Al Bundy's wife, and she strived hard not to be typecast in similar roles.
Besides acting, she explored singing, songwriting, and even writing. After some time, she ventured into another role as a wife, this time one vastly different from the whimsical Peggy Bundy.
Her portrayal of a mature, intelligent, and down-to-earth woman in the series "Sons of Anarchy" earned the actress a Golden Globe award. Since then, she started to receive more substantial offers in her career.
A few weeks before her 70th birthday, the actress confidently shares her photos on Instagram. Her looks and physique could make her much younger colleagues in the industry green with envy.
