Struthers is a long-time spokeswoman for the Christian Children's Fund, advocating on behalf of impoverished children in developing countries. Struthers, who in recent years has become overweight, was parodied in the Starvin' Marvin and the Starvin' Marvin in Space episodes of South Park as a Jabba the Hutt-like character. Struthers' weight gain came about after years of struggling to stay thin and attractive for her role on All in the Family, where she was commonly seen in tight blouses and slacks.
