Emmy award winner from iconic Nineteen Seventies sitcom appears unrecognizable at 77 as she bikes round LA
Sally Struthers of All in the Family fame was looking fit as she bicycled around Los Angeles on her 10-speed bike on Thursday.
The Emmy Award-winning comedic actress, 77, looked strong and healthy in a red Hamilton the musical t-shirt and black leggings as she bent over the handlebars of the bicycle.
She adhered to safety regulations by having a black helmet on, wore pink trainers and had a red jacket tied around her waist.
Sally carried her essentials in a black fanny pack and wore sunglasses.
She kept her trademark long blonde hair in a singular braid down her back and looked decades younger than her years.

Sally rose to fame in her 20s on the 1970s sitcom starring Carroll O’Connor and Jean Stapleton and Archie and Edith Bunker.
Struthers played their daughter Gloria Stivic who was married to Michael ‘Meathead’ Stivic, played by Rob Reiner.
The series was groundbreaking in many ways, not the least of which was it was the first sitcom to show what life was really like in an average American family at the time.
‘The Bunkers came along and they flushed toilets,’ she explained to Page Six. ‘They didn’t have good manners at the table. They reached over one another for food … and they talked about real things.
‘They peeled off the veneer. And you saw the less-than-perfect side of human beings. You saw the arguing and the vehemence and the bigotry. You can’t put the genie back in the bottle now. Everything got more honest after that.’
The series ran from 1971 to 1979, and in the same interview which took place earlier this year, Struthers said the associated fame drastically changed her life.
‘It became apparent rather quickly that my life had completely turned upside down,’ she told the outlet of how she could no longer go out to a simple lunch with Reiner without being mobbed by fans.
And all of these decades later, doors are still opening for her in her career because of her life-changing role on All in the Family.

‘It sounds like I’m bragging. I’m not bragging. I’m always dumbfounded,’ she said.
‘I don’t have to audition for theater. I get offered parts. I get people who call and say, ‘We want Sally to do this for us this year.
‘And that’s because they know that my name sells tickets and fills the seats,’ she said incredulously.
‘That wouldn’t have happened without the renown of ‘All in the Family.’ So, I’m grateful every day.’
