She is best known for her character Roz on the television series Frasier. 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. Raised in Dallas, she studied acting at the University of Texas at Austin and the British-American Academy in London. Sagal married Kurt Setter on October 2, 2004. Peri Gilpin (born Peri Kay Oldham May 27, 1961 in Waco, Texas) is an American actress. Eight years later, in 2004, she released her second album Room. In 1996, she released a gold-selling album of original material and covers called After the Harvest.

Sagal is also an accomplished songwriter. 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. The show developed a cult following but was cancelled four years later. In 1999, Matt Groening, who created The Simpsons, cast her as one-eyed alien spaceship pilot Leela in his sci-fi cartoon comedy Futurama.

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. Her career focused almost entirely around this series for its ten year run (with the exception of several television movies.). On the show, she portrayed the lower-class, unhappy, sex-craved wife of a shoe salesman. 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.

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). 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. Sagal began her career working the Hollywood circuit. She is also the sister of actor Joe Sagal.

She is the daughter of film director Boris Sagal, and the older sister of twin actresses Jean Sagal and Liz Sagal. 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).
