LONI ANDERSON

 

Loni Anderson first rose to fame in the ‘70s and ‘80s by portraying the role of Jennifer Marlowe in the CBS sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati. However, before becoming an award-winning actress, Loni had to jump through hoops to get to where she is today. After finishing her art degree from the University of Minnesota, Loni tried her luck with beauty pageants and went on auditions, all while pursuing a career in teaching.

Finally, in 1966, Loni caught a role in the film Nevada Smith where she starred alongside Steve McQueen. However, luck did not follow through as Loni’s career went silent for almost a decade before she caught another break in the sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati in 1978. Today at 75, Loni continues to work as an actress on TV. Her latest projects include My Sister Is So Gay (2016-2018) and Love You More (2017).
