Loni Anderson, who died at the age of 79 on Aug. 3, was known for her tumultuous marriage to Burt Reynolds, along with her roles on television, especially WKRP in Cincinnati.

Anderson’s daughter Deidra has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
In 2014, Anderson and her daughter revealed on the show The Doctors that Deidra learned she had MS five years before that.
According to ET Online, Anderon explained that Deidra “was blow-drying her hair when she suffered a mini-stroke.” At the hospital, an MRI revealed the MS diagnosis.

“I diagnosed myself years before with just stress and I had lots of symptoms that I ignored,” Deidra told The Doctors, according to ET Online. “I was busy. I was a mom, I worked full-time. I didn’t have time for everything that was happening to me and the diagnosis stopped me in my tracks.”
Now known as Deidra Hoffman, she has four kids of her own, according to IMDb.

Anderson adopted only son Quinton Reynolds with Burt Reynolds.
However, when she married folk singer Flick in 2008 after their divorce some years before, it was Quinton who walked her down the aisle, according to ABC 7.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Burt Reynolds and Anderson adopted Quinton when he was an infant in 1988. When they divorced in 1993, Reynolds accused her of being “unfit to raise their son,” but she lodged accusations against him as well, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
His IMDb profile says that Quinton has worked in the camera and electrical department for several Hollywood productions.
