A
versatile actress, Katey Sagal has
entertained audiences in a variety
of dramatic and comedic roles
throughout her career. She recently
wrapped her parts
in the independent film “I’m Reed
Fish” and the tele-film “3 Wise
Guys,” and
appeared as “Helen” on the
television phenomenon “Lost" and
"Nancy Gilroy" on
"The Shield".
In
addition to her busy schedule, Katey
devoted a significant portion of her
time and retraced her steps to her
first love: singing and songwriting.
With the support of record label
Valley Entertainment, she released
her album, “Room,” in 2004.
“Room” is the first record
for Sagal since her 1994 debut,
“Well.” “Room” is a
combination of original songs penned
by Katey including “Life Goes
Round”, “Daddy’s Girl” and
“Wish I Were a Kid” and memorable
classics like “Feel a Whole Lot
Better” and “(For the Love
of) Money”. The first single
was “Daddy’s Girl”, a
touching song about the long-lasting
relationship between a daughter and
her father. She debuted the song on
the March 2, 2004 episode of “8
Simple Rules …”. "Room” was
produced by Bob Thiele (Bonnie Raitt)
and mixed by Ray Kennedy (Twangtrust/Steve
Earle). Ivan Neville, Don Was and
Shane Fontayne make appearances
throughout the disc.
Katey gained national attention for
her role as the outrageous ‘Peg
Bundy’
in the ground-breaking, highly-rated
long-running series “Married with
Children,” for which she earned
three Golden Globe® and two American
Comedy Award nominations.
Most recently, Katey starred in the
ABC series “8 Simple Rules…,” and as
the voice of Leela, a beautiful
one-eyed alien, in the animated
series “Futurama."
In her first job on
television,
Katey joined Mary Tyler Moore in the
television series “Mary” and has
starred in the television movies
“Smart House” and “Mr. Headmistress”
(both for “Wonderful World of
Disney”), as well as “Chance of a
Lifetime,” “Trail of Tears” and “She
Says She’s Innocent.”
She
has also starred in the feature
films “Love Stinks,” “Mail Order,”
“The
Good Mother,” and the 2000 Sundance
Film Festival favorite “Dropping
Out.”
In addition to her acting,
Katey is a critically acclaimed
singer and songwriter who began
performing at the age of five. She
was a 'Harlette' with Bette Midler
for three years as well as a
background singer for Bob Dylan,
Olivia Newton-John,
Etta James and Tanya Tucker.
Katey currently resides in
Los Angeles, California with her
fabulous husband, Kurt Sutter, who
counts executive producer and writer
of "The Shield" among his many
credits, her three amazing children,
Sarah, Jackson, and Esmé and two
great dogs, Mike and the lovely
Lola. |
