Katey Sagal

Katey Sagal, an actress/singer who is extremely talented and versatile in comedy and drama, was a well-known name as Peg Bundy (Fox series Married... with Children, 1987). During the long run of the show, she was nominated twice for the American Comedy Award and three Golden Globes. Peg Bundy's persona was very popular and Katey continued her career, not only staring in sitcoms but also playing roles that were quite different from the role that caught her attention. In 2008, she portrayed the role of Gemma Teller Morrow on Sons of Anarchy (2008). The character was the mother of a Hell's Angels-esque California biker group. In 2011, her performance in this role was recognized with a Golden Globe Award as Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series-Drama. Catherine Louise Sagal was born on January 19, 1954, to director and singer Sara Zwilling and noted television and film director Boris Sagal. When she was five she began her first show in Los Angeles. She also trained in voice and acting at the California Institute of the Arts, Valencia, California. While working as a waitress, she began performing with "The Group With No Name" and later got a break by joining Gene Simmons' 1970s rock band KISS. While she was there she gained invaluable experiences as a backup singer for Simmons and other established stars like Bob Dylan, Olivia Newton-John, Etta James, and Tanya Tucker. In Bette's avant-garde stage productions in the latter half of the 1970s and into the early 1980s, she was dynamic in live performances alongside Bette Midler.
