Jean Stapleton a.k.a. Edith Bunker

Sweet, bubbly and slightly dim-witted Edith Bunker was played by the lovely Jean Stapleton, whom producer Norman Lear considered “a very talented stage actress.” Following her time on All in the Family, she appeared on several sitcoms over the years, including Everybody Loves Raymond, as well as several films, and was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 2002. Stapleton won three Emmys and two Golden Globe Awards for her performance as Edith Bunker. In 2013, at the ripe old age of 90, Stapleton died due to natural causes.

Rob Reiner a.k.a. Meathead

Rob Reiner portrayed Meathead on the show, which was the first regular television role of his career. Reiner got his start in acting with roles in TV shows like Batman, The Andy Griffith Show, and The Beverly Hillbillies, as well as All in the Family. Aside from his career as an actor, Reiner is also involved in political activism, including anti-smoking causes and campaigns, and was going to run against Arnold Schwarzenegger for governor of California back in 2006, but pulled out due to personal reasons. He is still acting today, and enjoys relaxing with his family and grandchildren.

Sally Struthers a.k.a. Gloria Stivic

Sally Struthers played the lovely Gloria Stivic on the sitcom, and although she’d been acting for some time before landing her role as Gloria, All in the Family was her big claim to fame. Struthers appeared on the WB hit television series The Gilmore Girls as Babette Dell for 52 episodes following her time as Gloria, and is a spokesperson for Save the Children, an organization dedicated to bettering the lives of children across the globe.
