All in the Family was always one of my very favorite TV sit-coms, so I was ecstatic to find that Sally Struthers would be appearing at the Hollywood Collectors Show during my February visit to California. Having already gotten her autograph through the mail in 1998, I didn’t need to purchase any additional signed photos, but brought the photo that she was kind enough to send me just in case she wondered why I wasn’t buying. In addition to more recent photo at left, she had also signed an All in the Family cast shot that already had the signatures of Caroll O’Connor and Jean Stapleton – which I will display at a later time.
As it turns out, she couldn’t have cared less whether I was buying a photo or not and was more than happy to pose for a photo with me. After seeing her give a kiss to another female fan, I was tempted to ask for one myself – just so I could claim to have kissed Gloria Stivic, or as Archie referred to her, “the little goil.” Sally Struthers was a class act all the way.
Celebs of the February ’07 HCS will continue…
All In The Family really was a fantastic show.
