Wild Cat

Fierce, independent, and fiercely private beneath the tough exterior.

Katey Sagal has built a career on fiercely independent, complicated women — from the sardonic Peg Bundy to the dangerous Gemma Teller in Sons of Anarchy — projecting an aloof, unpredictable intensity that defines the wild-cat. Off-screen she guards her private life closely and has navigated enormous personal tragedy, including the loss of a child, with a solitary resilience that feels entirely self-contained. Her creative reinventions — actress, rock singer, dramatic powerhouse — all on her own terms, mirror the wild-cat's refusal to be domesticated or defined by others.
