	Actors - Gail O'Grady

Gail O'Grady (b. 23 January, 1963 in Detroit, Michigan) is an American actress.

O'Grady was first seen by American television audiences in a 1987 Diet Pepsi commercial titled "Apartment 10G," starring Michael J. Fox. O'Grady played his sexy neighbor for whom Fox leaped down a fire escape and across a busy, rainy street to get a Diet Pepsi when he found none in his own fridge. TV Guide listed the ad as #41 in its 1999 list of "The 50 Greatest TV Commercials of All Time."

Her first major role was as "Donna Abandando" on the police drama NYPD Blue. O'Grady played the big-haired squad secretary from 1994-1996, and for each year received an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. O'Grady left the series in 1996 and made a pilot for her own sitcom, The Gail O'Grady Project, but the show was not picked up by any of the networks.

O'Grady found success starring in numerous television movies, including The Three Lives of Karen, Another Woman's Husband, and Sex & the Single Mom.

In 2002-2005, she played the mother, "Helen Pryor" in the television series "American Dreams", which depicted an all-American family living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during the 1960s. At the beginning of the 2005-2006 television season, she starred on the ABC sitcom Hot Properties. However, ABC announced late in 2005 that the series would be cancelled.

Married and divorced four times, O'Grady gave birth to her first child, son Michael Colton, in 2004.
