Sara Gilbert was born on the 29th January 1975 as Sara Rebecca Abeles at the Saint John's Hospital and Health Center in Santa Monica California to parents Harold and Barbara Abeles. Barbara was previously married to the late Paul Gilbert. At the age of six, when Sara saw her sister Melissa Gilbert get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Sara told her mother that she wanted to be an actress too. A string of commercials, and in 1984 an appearance in the CBS TV Movie Calamity Jane (1984) (TV) led her to adopt the Gilbert family name. After failing to get the new Facts of Life Show she eventually found success with "Roseanne" (1988). Sara spent a total of nine years on Roseanne and was also given time to be able to study at Yale University, graduating with honors in 1997. Aside from Roseanne, she has provided the voice of Laura Powers on "The Simpsons" (1989), and starred in several movies including Sudie and Simpson (1990) (TV), Poison Ivy (1992) and Light It Up (1999) .
