Tall, buxom, blonde leading lady, almost exclusively
on TV, best known for her amusing work as Jennifer, the perfect receptionist
who inexplicably manages to live glamorously on her modest income, on
the popular CBS sitcom, "WKRP in Cincinnati" (1978-82). After
the show ended, Anderson kept very busy on TV in a series of specials
(especially Bob Hope's regular comedy-variety fests) and in many TV-movies,
often remakes of old film classics. (Among these are 1980s TV versions
of "A Letter to Three Wives", "Leave Her to Heaven",
"Three Coins in the Fountain" and "Sorry, Wrong Number";
she also played classical Hollywood film stars Thelma Todd and Jayne Mansfield
in TV biopics.) Anderson married actor Burt Reynolds (with whom she had
worked in the feature film "Stroker Ace" in 1983) in 1988 and
adopted a son with him, but in the summer of 1993, they filed for divorce
in a much-publicized media mudslinging battle.
