Sally Starr (January 25, 1923 – January 27, 2013) was a prominent 1950s celebrity television personality. Using a cowgirl persona, she appealed to local TV audiences of several generations of children through American radio, Broadway stage, movies and as a recording artist for over 60 years. Fans remained loyal in the Philadelphia metropolitan area (referred to locally as the Delaware Valley), and embraced her cowgirl personality as part of their own family identity, and sometimes referred to her as "Aunt Sally" or "Our Gal Sal."
Her numerous personal appearances at events were an attraction for both children and adults. She was considered not only a character personality, but also a total performer. She became the first top-rated female DJ in the country, and worked as announcer, writer and producer while also appearing on stage and in movies. Sally Starr established herself as a pioneer in the history of early broadcast TV and radio in the United States
Aside from her television and recording career, Starr appeared in the Three Stooges feature film, The Outlaws Is Coming, as sharpshooter Belle Starr. She had small roles in such films as The In Crowd and Mannequin Two: On the Move.
