Sandy Duncan
From The Bionic Wiki
Sandy Duncan (b. 1946) is stage and screen actress who has been nominated for Tony, Golden Globe and Emmy awards. After first receiving postiive notices for her work at the start of the 1970s, she rose to mainstream popularity as the star of the sitcom Funny Face, which was later renamed The Sandy Duncan Show as an acknowledgement of her popularity. She also won notices (and an Emmy nomination) for her work in the groundbreaking miniseries, Roots, and she was also involved in several early productions featuring the popular children's character Barney the Dinosaur. After a period of performing mostly on the stage (most notably playing the lead role in a revival of Peter Pan), Duncan returned to TV stardom in the late 80s-early 90s when she took over the lead role on the sitcom Valerie, replacing Valerie Harper; the series was retitled The Hogan Family.
A longstanding urban myth is that Duncan has a glass eye. While it is true that her optic nerve was damaged by a tumor in the early 1970s, she kept the eye.[citation needed]
