Katey Sagal

A highly talented multifaceted performer who excels at both comedy and drama, actress/singer Katey Sagal became a household name in the 1980s as the fabulously brazen unassuming Peg Bundy on the enduring Fox series Married... with Children (1987). During the long run of the show she was nominated two times for the American Comedy Award and three Golden Globes. Peg Bundy was equally well-known and well-known as Katey, and she continued to appear in television sitcoms. Katey also played roles that were completely opposite of the one that initially caught her national attention. She played Gemma Teller Morrow in Sons of Anarchy (2008) as the Matriarch of the Hell's Angels-like California biker clan. In 2011, her performance earned her the Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series Drama. Catherine Louise Sagal is the daughter of Sara Zwilling (director and singer) and Boris Sagal (film and television director). 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. She worked as a waitress who sang during her "salad" years. After performing with "The Group With No Name," she got a break when she joined forces with Gene Simmons and KISS, a 1970s rock band. She was also a backup vocalist for Simmons as well as other famous stars such as Bob Dylan, Olivia Newton-John and Tanya Tucker. In the role of one of Bette Midler's "Harlettes", she was also dynamic when she performed live with her in Bette’s avant-garde stage shows which were staged from the late 1970s to the early 1980s.
