Katey Sagal

Before that, she was married to Freddie Beckmeyer (1978 - 1981) and Jack White (November 26, 1993 - July 24, 2000) with whom she had two children. Jackson. Sagal married Kurt Setter on October 2, 2004. In January 2005, Ashanti made her feature film acting debut in the movie Coach Carter with Samuel L. Eight years later, in 2004, she released her second album Room. However, R&B newcomer Lloyd has released a duet with Ashanti, "Southside", as his first single; and it became a hit at American radio, as well as MTV Jams, over the summer of 2004. In 1996, she released a gold-selling album of original material and covers called After the Harvest. Most recently, in 2004, Ashanti released the third single from Chapter II, "Breakup 2 Makeup"; its complete lack of video play on any American music video stations, including the cable channels, VH1 Soul and MTV Jams, and almost total lack of American radio airplay had some speculating that Ashanti's career as a superstar pop diva might have run its course.

Sagal is also an accomplished songwriter. Even with the help of a remix version of both the single and video, it was not able to reach "Rock Wit U"'s level of success on either pop or urban radio. No sooner had that door closed than she was cast as the wife of John Ritter in the sitcom 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter in 2002. The second single and video, "Rain On Me", was released in the fall of 2003. The show developed a cult following but was cancelled four years later. In the summer of 2003, Ashanti released an album called Chapter II. Its first single, "Rock Wit U (Awww Baby)" became one of the summer's biggest hits and its steamy video, which showed Ashanti in a bikini frolicking on a beach, was nominated for a 2003 MTV Video Music Award for Best R&B Video. In 1999, Matt Groening, who created The Simpsons, cast her as one-eyed alien spaceship pilot Leela in his sci-fi cartoon comedy Futurama. She would later make a special guest appearance in a season 7 episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, First Date.

After the end of Married...with Children, several more television movies followed for Sagal, and she was also a featured voice on the children's cartoon Recess. family. Her career focused almost entirely around this series for its ten year run (with the exception of several television movies.). Ashanti was not spared from 50 Cent's criticism of the entire Murder Inc. On the show, she portrayed the lower-class, unhappy, sex-craved wife of a shoe salesman. In early 2003, Ja Rule and Ashanti teamed up again and scored a massive pop hit with "Mesmerize", the music video for which parodied the plot of the movie Grease. 50 Cent would later mock Ja Rule as being soft and "not a true gangsta", citing the "Mesmerize" video and its pop-culture appeal as an example. Sagal returned to television in 1985 in the failed television series Mary starring Mary Tyler Moore. This led to her being cast in her most well-known role, that of Peg Bundy on the very successul American sitcom Married...with Children. During the summer of 2002, Ashanti also appeared on a Ja Rule song called "Down 4 U," along with labelmates Vita and Charli Baltimore.

She was plucked from relative obscurity by Bette Midler, who hired her for her 1979 tour as one of her back-up singers (The Harlettes). Ashanti's follow-up singles, "Happy" and "Baby" were smaller hits later that same year. She appeared in several television movies between 1971 and 1975, including the Columbo picture Candidate for Crime and in 1973 working as a back-up singer for various mega-stars including Bob Dylan, Gene Simmons, and Tanya Tucker. "Foolish" became 2002's biggest hit, according to Billboard, spending eleven weeks at number one on the pop charts (Hot 100), thanks in part to a remix called "Unfoolish," which featured a rap by Biggie, and got heavy urban radio airplay. Sagal began her career working the Hollywood circuit. record label. "Foolish" contained a sample of the late Biggie Smalls' hit remix, "One More Chance". She is also the sister of actor Joe Sagal. Shortly afterwards, Ashanti released her own debut album, Ashanti, and debut single, "Foolish," on Ja Rule's own Murder Inc.

She is the daughter of film director Boris Sagal, and the older sister of twin actresses Jean Sagal and Liz Sagal. They were two of the biggest pop and urban hits of the year, and both featured Ashanti. Katey Sagal (born Catherine Louise Sagal on January 19, 1957 in Hollywood, California), is an American singer, writer, and actress most known for her portrayal of the character Peg Bundy in the American sitcom Married...with Children (1987 - 1997). Ashanti's big break, however, didn't come until early 2002, when, almost simultaneously, Ja Rule released the song "Always On Time" and Fat Joe released "What's Luv?". That same year, she caught the attention of Fat Joe, and he invited her to sing background for Big Pun's unsuccessful posthumous single "How We Roll". She first was brought into the public eye as a featured background vocalist on Vita's 2001 hip hop remake of Madonna's "Justify My Love," which appeared on the soundtrack to the movie The Fast and the Furious.
