Biography
Early life and career A fifth-generation Californian, Sharon Gless was born in Los Angeles, California in 1943. She worked as a secretary for the advertising agencies Grey Advertising and Young & Rubicam in Los Angeles, California, and then for the independent movie production companies Sassafras Films and General Film Corporation. After deciding to switch to acting, Gless took classes and in 1974 signed a 10-year contract with Universal Studios. Gless has described herself as the last of the studio contract players — a salaried, Old Hollywood apprentice system which Universal was the last to employ. Gless went on to appear in numerous Universal television series and TV movies, and co-starred with Eddie Albert and Robert Wagner in the studio's series Switch.
