Katey Sagal

An extremely gifted, versatile performer adept in both drama and comedy, actress/singer Katey Sagal became a household name in the 1980s as the fabulously brazen, undomesticated Peg Bundy in the long-running Fox series Married... with Children (1987). During the show's lengthy run, she received nominations for three Golden Globes as well as two American Comedy Award. Peg Bundy may be well-known, but Katey was determined to keep her acting career even after the show ended. Katey starred in other sitcoms and also in TV films. On Sons of Anarchy (2008), she played the role of Gemma Teller Morrow. This was the Matriarch of the Hell's Angels-like California biker group. She won the Golden Globe Award 2011 for her performance. Catherine Louise Sagal was a child of Sara Zwilling, a director and singer, and Boris Sagal - renowned television and film directors. The Los Angeles native began performing at the age of 5 and then trained in acting and voice at the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California. She started her career as a singing waitress in her "salad times" as well as continuing to perform with "The Group with No Name." After that, she was lucky enough to to hook up with Gene Simmons (and his 1970s rock group KISS) and was able to secure an offer to work. She gained valuable experience while performing as a backup singer to Simmons, Etta Jones, Tanya Tucker, and Olivia Newton-John. She also sang live with Bette Midler as one of Bette's "Harlettes," in Bette’s avant-garde stage productions.
