Loni Kaye Anderson is an American actress who is best known for her fouryear run as receptionist Jennifer Marlowe on the sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati .
Anderson was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, the daughter of Maxine Hazel , a model, and Klaydon Carl Andy Anderson , an environmental chemist, and grew up in suburban Roseville. As a senior at Alexander Ramsey Senior High School in Roseville in 1963, she was voted Valentine Queen of Valentines Day Winter Formal. She attended the University of Minnesota. As she says in her autobiography, My Life in High Heels, her father was originally going to name her Leiloni but then realized to his horror that when she got to her teen years it was likely to be twisted into Lay Loni. So it was changed to simply Loni.
