Katey Sagal

Before that, she was married to Freddie Beckmeyer (1978 - 1981) and Jack White (November 26, 1993 - July 24, 2000) with whom she had two children. (See Yazoo for the discography as this group). Sagal married Kurt Setter on October 2, 2004. A 2005 "Voice" tour and DVD release are presently in the planning stages, as is a 2-woman play starring Alison Moyet and Dawn French (of French & Saunders fame). Eight years later, in 2004, she released her second album Room. Alison Moyet's latest album, Voice, was released on 6 September 2004 and entered the UK charts at #7. In 1996, she released a gold-selling album of original material and covers called After the Harvest. Hometime launched Moyet into the top 5 best-selling female UK artists of 2002 and resulted in a BRIT nomination for Best Female Vocal.

Sagal is also an accomplished songwriter. In August 2002, after years of holding our and refusing to compromise, Moyet was finally released from her Sony contract. Moyet signed to Sanctuary Records and released her first studio album in eight years, Hometime, an album which Sony had refused to release. No sooner had that door closed than she was cast as the wife of John Ritter in the sitcom 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter in 2002. 2001 also saw the release of The Essential Alison Moyet CD, and in 2002 'The Essential Alison Moyet' DVD was released. The show developed a cult following but was cancelled four years later. She played the part of Matron ‘Mama’ Morton, and although initially planned to be a short run, Moyet enjoyed the experience so much that the run was extended to 6 months. In 1999, Matt Groening, who created The Simpsons, cast her as one-eyed alien spaceship pilot Leela in his sci-fi cartoon comedy Futurama. Moyet also made her critically acclaimed stage debut in the West End musical Chicago in 2001.

After the end of Married...with Children, several more television movies followed for Sagal, and she was also a featured voice on the children's cartoon Recess. During this time, however, Moyet recorded vocals for Tricky, Ocean Colour Scene, The Lightning Seeds and King Britt. Her career focused almost entirely around this series for its ten year run (with the exception of several television movies.). Due to prolonged litigation with Sony, during which time Moyet refused to record a radio-friendly 'pop' album for the sake of creating chart hits, Moyet did not release a new studio album for over 8 years since the release of Essex. On the show, she portrayed the lower-class, unhappy, sex-craved wife of a shoe salesman. Following incredible CD success and a UK tour, 'Singles' was re-issued as a double CD set which included "No Overdubs", a bonus live CD. Upon re-issue "Singles" again charted, this time in the top 20. Sagal returned to television in 1985 in the failed television series Mary starring Mary Tyler Moore. This led to her being cast in her most well-known role, that of Peg Bundy on the very successul American sitcom Married...with Children. "Singles" (Alison Moyet's ‘greatest hits’ CD), was released in 1995 and entered the UK charts at #1.

She was plucked from relative obscurity by Bette Midler, who hired her for her 1979 tour as one of her back-up singers (The Harlettes). In order for the album to be released her label (now Sony) required that certain Essex tracks be re-recorded and re-produced, and that there be additional material remixed to create a more 'commercial' package. She appeared in several television movies between 1971 and 1975, including the Columbo picture Candidate for Crime and in 1973 working as a back-up singer for various mega-stars including Bob Dylan, Gene Simmons, and Tanya Tucker. Her album "Essex" (1994) did not see the light of day as Moyet had originally intended for it to be heard. Sagal began her career working the Hollywood circuit. Despite having spawned the Grammy nominated single 'It Won't Be Long', "Hoodoo" marked the beginning of what was to become a long fight for Moyet to secure complete control of her artistic direction. She is also the sister of actor Joe Sagal. "Hoodoo", which was a far earthier and more personal album than Moyet had previously released, received little label support and only minimal promotion.

She is the daughter of film director Boris Sagal, and the older sister of twin actresses Jean Sagal and Liz Sagal. Following a period of personal and career evaluation "Hoodoo" was released in 1991. Katey Sagal (born Catherine Louise Sagal on January 19, 1957 in Hollywood, California), is an American singer, writer, and actress most known for her portrayal of the character Peg Bundy in the American sitcom Married...with Children (1987 - 1997). "Raindancing" spawned further hit singles, including: 'Ordinary Girl' and a cover of Floy Joy's 'Weak In The Presence of Beauty'. In 1986 Alison had another big UK hit with the single 'Is This Love?', followed in 1987 by the album "Raindancing". In 1985 Moyet performed at the Live Aid concert, along side Paul Young.

"Alf" spawned 3 hit singles, including 'Invisible' and 'All Cried Out'. This was a big success in Britain, reaching number one in the album charts. In 1984 she released her debut album Alf (titled after her punk-era nickname). In 1983 Yazoo split and Moyet signed to CBS (because it had been Janis Joplin's label) and began her solo career.

She was involved in a number of punk, pub rock and blues bands in the South East Essex area during the late 1970s and early 1980s, including The Vandals and the Screamin' Ab Dabs, The Vicars and The Little Roosters, although her more mainstream pop career began in 1981 as half of the electropop duo Yazoo (a.k.a.
