Loni Anderson took an assured place on one of the television sex symbol pedestals during the late 1970s and early 1980s. She was a buxom, be-dimpled, pert-nosed knockout during that time period. She first gained widespread recognition for her performance as Jennifer Marlowe on the television series WKRP in Cincinnati (1978), for which she was nominated for an Emmy Award. Subsequently, she became a soap-styled mainstay in mini-movies. This worthy pin-up, who contributed to bring back the glossy platinum-blonde attractiveness of Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, and Mamie Van Doren, was the center of everyone's attention as they gazed upon her. Loni was an elegant and very appealing actress with an hourglass body and a piled-on, bleached-blonde mane, both of which belied an enviable intelligence. Despite this, Loni aspired for much more as she attempted to turn her newly acquired reputation into a successful theatrical career. She was able to recreate the lives of artificial sex sirens like Mansfield and Thelma Todd on television with some degree of success, but she became bogged down in television-movie re-tellings of famous movie classics (such as Three Coins in the Fountain (1954), Sorry, Wrong Number (1948), and Leave Her to Heaven (1945)), which could not help but pale in comparison. This attempt at being serious was further complicated by the complex media reports that were surrounding her private life.
On August 5, 1945, Loni Kaye Anderson was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, with hair that was extremely dark (almost jet black). She was a University of Minnesota art student when she secretly competed in and won many beauty contests, including one that placed her as runner-up for the title of Miss Minnesota in 1964. After getting married and then divorcing before she turned 21, Loni started working as a teacher so that she could provide for herself and her young daughter (whom she named Deidre) while she finished her education. She decided to pursue her love in acting by following a path that many aspiring actors take and began interning in local theater productions and television advertisements. Still sporting her black hair, she appeared in a number of plays in the early 1970s, including "Born Yesterday" (in which she portrayed the role of Billie Dawn), "Send Me No Flowers," "Can-Can," and "The Star-Spangled Girl." She even appeared in "Fiddler on the Roof" as "Tzeitel" and in "The Threepenny Opera" in one staging each.
After being remarried in 1973 (to another actor named Ross Bickell), the pair made the decision to uproot their lives and relocate to Los Angeles in 1975 so that they could more actively pursue careers in cinema and television. She soon became blonde and this, in addition to her exquisite looks, helped her to gain minor but sensual appearances on such programs as S.W.A.T. (1975), Police Woman (1974), Barnaby Jones (1973), Three's Company (1976), and The Bob Newhart Show (1972). She pounded the metaphorical pavement. She had already developed into a very admirable actor by the time she was offered the part of Jennifer Marlowe on the television show "WKRP in Cincinnati," which brought her two nominations for the Emmy Award.
She and Howard Hesseman shot to fame as the show's breakout stars, and Loni became known for her seductive persona as a direct result. On the other hand, her immediate prominence was the cause of the dissolution of her second marriage in the year 1981. Outside of the confines of her comic series, Loni had sporadic success with several projects. She played tragic Hollywood sex sirens Jayne Mansfield in The Jayne Mansfield Story (1980), opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger as her muscle-bound husband Mickey Hargitay, and Thelma Todd, in White Hot: The Mysterious Murder of Thelma Todd (1991), whose untimely death in 1935 is still questioned. She was front-and-center in a number of television-movies. Loni also made a gorgeous appearance beside Bob Hope in a number of his legendary television programs, which she helped to lighten up. On the other hand, she was not successful when she teamed up with Wonder Woman (1975) star Lynda Carter in the bland, short-lived series Partners in Crime (1984), and she later played a former Las Vegas showgirl who inherits a bundle in the sitcom that failed to take off, Easy Street (1986). Both of these roles were flops. She was also offered roles in full-length films such as Stroker Ace (1983), which she took advantage of. Despite the negative reviews of her performance in that movie, she was able to work with and become friends with megastar Burt Reynolds because to that role.
Appearing in routine, mini-movie soap operas (with her own production company) kept Loni in the public eye as a serious-minded actress, but it was an uphill battle to climb above her created image as a fantasy bombshell. If anything, appearing in routine, mini-movie soap operas kept Loni in the public eye as a serious-minded actress. Her high-profile marriage to Burt Reynolds in 1988 did not help the situation. Although the marriage started off well enough (and resulted in the adoption of a boy named Quinton), it swiftly crumbled into a bitter divorce that harmed the reputations of both stars. Quinton was the adopted son. Loni has demonstrated an unbelievable amount of resilience in recent years. The stubborn beauty, true to form, continues to play up the glitter, but she has, in recent times, toned down the dramatics. She appears to be more focused on having harmless fun these days, as seen by the fact that she has played a number of hearty vixens in sitcoms and series guest stints. Over the course of her career, she has appeared in several mindless sitcoms, including Nurses (1991), The Mullets (2003), and So Notorious (2006), in which she played the role of Tori Spelling's materialistic mother. However, Tori's actual mother did not like of her portrayal of the role.
