Career

Sanders studied acting in New York with Lee Strasberg's Actor Studio. She is married and has an adopted daughter.

On television, Sanders often played the stereotypical blonde, the nice mom, or the star's girlfriend. She played supporting roles to both Mary Tyler Moore and Valerie Harper in their respective sitcoms and in several TV movies with Moore.

She also starred in her own one-woman show on stage entitled Yes Sir, That's My Baby in the late 90s. She began writing the play after taking a UCLA writing class. The show details her failure to conceive a baby at 40+ years of age, and then the later frustrations of the adoption process.

Sanders has appeared in over 300 commercials. She played the Arm & Hammer Baking Soda spokesperson Louise for nearly a decade.[1]
