Loni Anderson

Loni Anderson has both beauty and brains. She used these two assets to help propel her forward when it comes to her career too. Prior to landing notable roles, such as that of Jennifer Marlowe in WKRP in Cincinnati, the actress was actually quite popular in the pageant circuit. There she was able to show off, not just her beauty, but also her innate intelligence. Later on, she decided to pursue an acting career and found success in the industry. Though, there was a time when she was stereotyped in “dumb blonde” characters.

She became a household name following a pinup photo that later became one of the best-selling photographs of the 70s. With her newfound fame, she continued to make investments in building a legacy as a talented actress and not just a pretty face. Loni Anderson managed to do exactly that and she gets much-deserved accolades for her work throughout the years.
