You may not recognize the name Sandy Duncan, but chances are high that you’d recognize her face. In 1970, she was named one of the “most promising faces of tomorrow” by Time. A year later, she made her feature film debut in the Disney film The Million Dollar Duck. The same year she starred as Sandy Stockton in the sitcom Funny Face. While the show did not receive favorable reviews, audiences were captivated by Duncan’s charms. In 1972, CBS gave her The Sandy Duncan Show which replaced Funny Face and aired 13 episodes and also starred in the mega hit miniseries Roots (1977). She is also best known for her role on the show Valerie (AKA Hogans Family), about a working mom raising her three sons while her pilot husband flies around for work. Duncan stepped in as the aunt taking care of the boys when Valerie Harper left the show.
