The sitcom, which aired from 1978 until 1982, earned her two Emmy nominations and three Golden Globe nominations.

In an interview with Fox News in 2021, Anderson addressed her sex symbol status on WKRP in Cincinnati. "I remember we all did posters back then. Everybody always asks me, 'What made you do a poster?'" she recalled. "I would say, 'Because someday my grandchildren will look at this. And I'll be able to tell them that I really looked like that.' What you saw is what you got." The Minnesota native added: "I never thought I would be Loni Anderson, sex symbol. But I embrace it. I think I was lucky enough to have been able to play so many different things and sex symbol was a part of it. I took whatever my career threw at me."

First look: Springtime pop-up bar in downtown San Antonio
Secret Garden, an immersive springtime pop-up bar at High Praise inside the Intercontinental Hotel, is open through June 29. The vibe: It's like stepping into a flower shop — faux blooms, sure, but still dreamy, with colorful buds cascading down the walls. The indoor patio furniture creates a cool cabana feel that made me think of the "outside is the inside" club idea from "A Night at the Roxbury." Given how brutal real patio weather can be in San Antonio, it works. And it makes for really pretty pictures. What to try: The Morning Sunshine ($16), which has tequila, Ancho Reyes, pineapple, lime and Tajín. It tastes like a spicy margarita with a tropical twist. If you're snackish, the cheese plate ($22) and chips with French onion dip ($9) made for the perfect girl dinner.
