...greeted the news like that, who could blame him? When All in the Family finished taping for the season, Sally Struthers, who plays Archie's daughter, Gloria, went off to be a bank robber's lap doll in Sam Peckinpah's The Getaway. And if a starlet's going to make it, she's got to let folks know everything she's got. What Sally's got is nicely displayed by some horseplay in the new movie, which she describes as a modern-day version of Bonnie and Clyde. "I have...
Robyn, on the other hand, hardly thinks about marriage and children. A former Hollywood starlet, she is frequently asked for dates, sometimes by fellow jockeys. But she seldom goes out except for dinner with married friends.

Late Show buffs can catch her around, but not quite in, movie musicals. She was Mrs. Cole Porter in Night and Day and George Gershwin's gal in Rhapsody in Blue. Customarily, though, she was Warner Brothers' snow queen, a frosty beauty about as seducible as the Statue...
