Introducing...
|
Sara is a sister of Melissa Gilbert, who played Laura Ingalls on the
TV series Little House on the Prairie. After doing some small actress work she became famous as
Darlene Conner in the TV-Series "Roseanne". During these series, Sara not only played
several roles in different (TV) movies she also was nominated for two Emmy Awards for her role
as Darlene. That role was so important to the show that the producers decided to changed the storyline
in such a way that Sara could still play her character while she attended to Yale during the last two
seasons of the show. Sara graduated with honors on an Art Degree. Sara does a lot of charity work. She became an vegetarian when she was in her teens. During her teens, at the age of seventeen, Sara also had a nose job. While Sara was seen with lots of, very hansom, men there never was a record of a real boyfriend. Leonardo DiCaprio was once mentioned as her 'steady' boyfriend - she spent New Year's Eve 1997 with him and other friends at the trendy South Beach nightclub Bash, which is owned by Sean Penn - but in an interview with PlayBoy Magazine, Sara says:"He's a friend of mine. We've been friends for years and years" when she was asked about Leo. After Roseanne, Sara continued her career in Hollywood as an actress. Until this day she plays roles in Theater production, independent movies, Motion Pictures and TV Series. She has proven to be more then a very tallented actress, she also had written an episode of "Roseanne" and did some directing work as well. In several interviews where she was asked what kind of work she prefers she answered that she liked doing both, just because directing asks to much of a personal sacrafise, she wants to wait untill she finds a project she is willing to give 100 percent. In december 2004 Sara announced that her partner Allison Adler gave birth to a baby boy. Untill this announcement there was not much known about Sara's private life. For most people this news was the first acknowledgement that Sara was a lesbian. Her son, Levi Hank, was given birth by Allison. Sara was however pregnant of her daughter. Both are equally involved by raising their children Sara mentioned in an interview shortly after Sawyer was born. |
Unfacts
|
There are a lot of rumors and so called facts about Sara that are not true. Below are some. |
|
| |
|
| MacMahon |
In the past, just before the new millenium, Sara's real name was claimed to be "Rebecca Sara Mac Mahon",
even IMDB.com published that as her name.
The Unofficial Sara Gilbert Fanpage was the first page that mentioned her real name: "Sara Abeless".
Another fanpage, currently unavailable, has proved this fact and since then most websites have updated their information. |
| Two Sara's? | The name Sara Gilbert is not unique. Sara shares her name with a lot of people, some of which are also in the public eye. One is a writer and another is also an actress. This makes confirming news about the correct Sara Gilbert sometimes very hard. |
| Married? | Old rumours claimed that Sara is married to LaTanya Richardson, a very silly claim that is simply not true. |
