Sara Gilbert

Biography

After seeing her sister Melissa Gilbert get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Sara Gilbert always wanted to be an actress. She soon set out on that path and after a string of commercials for the likes of Kool-Aid, she got her first big role in 1984’s Calamity Jane. But her career-defining role came as Darlene Conner on the legendary ABC sitcom Rosanne.

Playing the title character’s daughter from 1988 to 1987, she reprised the part to great acclaim in 2018 while taking on the role of executive producer. Receiving two Primetime Emmy Awards nominations for her work, the one-off series proved so popular that a 10-episode spin off entitled The Connors ran in 2018 with Gilbert again acting as executive producer.

Her popularity has remained consistent over the years, and Gilbert now has a recurring role as Leslie Winkle on another much loved show in CBS’s The Big Bang Theory, while she is also the creator and co-host of daytime talk show The Talk also on CBS. A Yale graduate born in California, Gilbert has stayed active with further TV roles in Jane the Virgin and Living Biblically. This long-time star of American TV continues to excite three decades after first appearing on screens, proving just how popular she remains and continuing her legacy in contemporary shows such as Weird City.
