SALLY STRUTHERS
Sally Struthers (born July 28, 1947) is an American actress, voice artist, spokeswoman, and activist. She played the roles of Gloria Stivic, the daughter of Archie and Edith Bunker (played by Carroll O’Connor and Jean Stapleton) on All in the Family, for which she won two Emmy awards, and Babette on Gilmore Girls. She was the voice of Charlene Sinclair on the ABC sitcom Dinosaurs and Rebecca Cunningham on the Disney animated series TaleSpin. (More from Wikipedia)
The omission of “Sally Struthers’ Tears” is particularly surprising, since it is one of my favorites by the Gynecologists (along with “Across 110th Street”). After her run on All in the Family, Sally Struthers made a series of commercials for the Christian Children’s Fund charity where she would often be shown crying. Despite the mercilessly mocking tone of the song, Tommy Afterbirth manages to capture the way she would plead for help for these children at a cost of “pennies a day”.
