Roseanne Barr Almost Became Peggy
Producers wanted Roseanne Barr to play Peggy Bundy. But Katey Sagal won the casting directors over during the audition, so they stuck with her. Ironically, Sagal went on to become the girlfriend of Barr’s on-screen husband Dan on “The Conners” after Roseanne Barr was fired from the “Roseanne” revival and her character was written off.
