Background

Sara Gilbert was born as Sara Rebecca Abeles on January 29, 1975, in Santa Monica, California. Gilbert is part of her family's third generation in the entertainment industry. Her grandparents were Harry Crane, a TV writer most renowned for The Honeymooners, and Julia Crane, a dancer who was once named "Miss Brooklyn." Gilbert's mom, Barbara Crane, was a producer and Hollywood talent manager.

Gilbert's two older siblings, Melissa and Jonathan Gilbert, were both young actors who featured on the NBC series Little House on the Prairie during the 1980s. Sara says she chose to emulate her brother and sister’s path to acting since she was envious of the considerable number of presents they got on the set of Little House on the Prairie.
