Goranson discussing Roseanne and going to college after being a child TV star

Key Information

Lecy Goranson (/ˈliːsi/; born June 22, 1974) is an American actress. She played Becky Conner in the television sitcoms Roseanne (1988–1997; 2018) and The Conners (2018–2025).[1] She has also had supporting roles in the films How to Make an American Quilt (1996), Boys Don't Cry (1999), and The Extra Man (2010).

Career

[edit]

Roseanne

[edit]

Goranson studied acting in Chicago and subsequently landed the role of Becky Conner. It was only the second time she had ever auditioned for any part. She played the character for five seasons, exiting the series in 1992, several episodes into the fifth season, to attend Vassar College.[2] Her academic schedule allowed her to continue appearing part-time as Becky. Under her new arrangement, the show's producers and writers wrote scenes for Becky sparingly. Goranson's exit resulted in Becky's eloping with her boyfriend Mark.

During the following season, the producers wanted to bring back the character. Goranson was still unavailable, so Sarah Chalke auditioned and won the role.[3]

Chalke played Becky for the remainder of the sixth season and all of the seventh season. When the show reached its eighth season, Goranson was able to play Becky again while still attending college, replacing Chalke. Goranson appeared in the show's eighth season, but by mid-season she had scheduling conflicts with school again. On two occasions Goranson had to pull out of episodes in which the Becky character was necessary: Darlene's wedding and a family trip to Walt Disney World. Chalke played Becky for these episodes. Toward the season's end, Goranson returned to play Becky. When the series was renewed for a ninth season, Goranson, who was still in school, declined to continue in the role in order not to cause scheduling conflicts. Chalke returned for the ninth season, which was her last appearance in that role. Chalke did appear in season 10 as the new character Andrea who attempts to enlist Becky as a surrogate mother.

The appearances by Goranson vs. Chalke became a running gag. Goranson's first re-appearance was marked with a, "Where the hell have you been?" comment from several cast members while in character. Similarly, Chalke's sporadic appearances during Season 8 would be played for humor with an, "Aren't you glad you're here this week?" remark from Roseanne. There was even a glimpse into the future where a grown-up and somewhat catatonic DJ, played by John Goodman instead of Michael Fishman, repeatedly uttered to a psychiatrist (referring to Becky), "They say she's the same, but she isn't the same". One episode ended with both Beckys performing a parody of the opening theme of the Patty Duke Show, with similar music and lyrics to the "identical cousins song", and an appearance by William Schallert, who played the father on that show.

Post-Roseanne

[edit]

After the initial run of Roseanne, Goranson had several small roles in films and has guest starred in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Sex and the City, Damages and Fringe. In her post-Roseanne film roles, she is normally credited as Alicia rather than Lecy Goranson. She played the part of Sandra in The Extra Man which opened in limited release on July 30, 2010.

Roseanne revival and The Conners

[edit]

On April 28, 2017, it was announced that a revival of Roseanne was in the works with most of the original cast and some of the original producers slated to return.[4] In May 2017, it was confirmed that Goranson would be returning in the role of Becky. Chalke would also appear, playing a different role. The revival of Roseanne premiered on March 27, 2018, on ABC.[5][6][7] On May 29, 2018, in the wake of controversial remarks made by Roseanne Barr on Twitter regarding Valerie Jarrett (an advisor of former president Barack Obama), ABC cancelled the revival after a single season.[8][9][10]

On June 21, 2018, ABC announced a spin-off from Roseanne, entitled The Conners, with all the original cast of Roseanne to return, except for Barr herself.[11] The new show premiered on October 16, 2018 and would air for seven seasons before concluding on April 23, 2025.[12]

Goranson wrote season four's fourteenth episode, "Triggered", focusing on gun violence in the United States.

Personal life

[edit]

Goranson was born in Evanston, Illinois, to Stephen Goranson, who worked for the Environmental Protection Agency, and Linda Goranson, who taught English at Evanston Township High School.[13] She has an older brother named Adam.[13]

Lecy Goranson (born Alicia Linda Goranson; June 22, 1974) is an American actress recognized primarily for her long association with the role of Becky Conner-Healy in the sitcom Roseanne and its continuation The Conners. Originating the character at age 14 on Roseanne, which aired from 1988 to 1997, Goranson portrayed the eldest daughter of the Conner family through five seasons before departing in 1992 to attend Vassar College, prompting the temporary recasting of the role with Sarah Chalke and creating the show's "Two Beckys" dynamic. She returned for limited appearances in the series' eighth and ninth seasons, resumed the role full-time in the 2018 Roseanne revival, and continued as a lead in The Conners, the ABC spin-off that ran from 2018 to 2025 following the cancellation of the revival. Goranson's performance in The Conners earned her a Critics' Choice Television Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 2021, highlighting her evolution of the character into a more vulnerable and grounded figure amid ongoing family struggles. Beyond the Conner franchise, she has appeared in films such as Boys Don't Cry (1999) and maintained a selective career balancing acting with personal pursuits, including writing a children's book titled If I Were a Bird announced in 2025.

In 1992, after five seasons on Roseanne, Goranson chose to leave the series to enroll at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York, prioritizing higher education over continued stardom—a decision supported by her parents, both college graduates who viewed academic pursuits as essential. She briefly studied at the University of California, Los Angeles, for one year before returning to Vassar to complete her degree. At Vassar, Goranson majored in English with a concentration in , graduating in 1995; she deliberately avoided as an academic focus to immerse herself in literary studies, reflecting an interest in development beyond performance. This period shaped her appreciation for and narrative depth, though specific mentors or extracurricular debates influencing her worldview remain undocumented in available accounts.

Acting Career

Breakthrough Role on Roseanne (1988–1997)

Lecy Goranson landed the role of Becky Conner after her second audition in Chicago at age 13 in 1988, marking her entry into professional acting as the eldest daughter in ABC's Roseanne, which premiered on October 18, 1988. The character depicted a sharp-tongued, resilient teenager from a blue-collar family in Lanford, Illinois, often clashing with her parents over independence, dating, and household responsibilities, which contrasted sharply with the idealized family dynamics prevalent in 1980s sitcoms like The Cosby Show. Goranson's portrayal contributed to the series' early success, as Roseanne quickly rose in popularity by offering unvarnished depictions of working-class struggles, including financial pressures and interpersonal tensions, resonating with audiences who identified with the Conners' authenticity. The show ranked in the top four Nielsen programs for its first six seasons and achieved the number-one spot in its second season (1989–1990), averaging over 20 million viewers per episode during peak years and dominating Tuesday night slots. Becky's arcs in early seasons highlighted her maturation, such as in episodes dealing with sibling rivalries and parental expectations, like navigating high school pressures and early job attempts amid family economic realities, which underscored the sitcom's departure from sanitized television norms. This breakthrough role established Goranson as a key component of the ensemble, with her performance of Becky's evolving defiance and loyalty helping sustain the show's ratings dominance through the mid-1990s by grounding abstract social issues in relatable teen experiences. The character's development reflected causal family dynamics, where Becky's rebellions often stemmed from the Conners' limited resources and Roseanne's no-nonsense parenting, fostering viewer empathy for blue-collar youth without resorting to moralistic resolutions typical of era contemporaries.

Hiatus, Return, and Recasting Dynamics

Goranson departed Roseanne during its fifth in to enroll at in , prioritizing her at age 18 over continued filming commitments. This logistical decision necessitated recasting the of Conner with , who assumed the character for seasons 6 and 7 (–) to maintain the show's production without Goranson's . Her original contract included provisions allowing a potential return contingent on scheduling, which enabled Goranson to reprise in season 8 (1995–1996) for 11 episodes. Midway through that season, however, renewed academic conflicts prompted her withdrawal, leading to Chalke resuming the to complete production. Goranson opted not to return for the ninth and final season (1996–1997), citing persistent scheduling constraints from her studies rather than any contractual disputes or personal discord with the production team. These intermittent shifts stemmed from pragmatic educational priorities, underscoring Goranson's foundational portrayal of across the series' early and later original episodes. The dual in 8, where both actresses briefly overlapped in portraying , introduced minor inconsistencies—such as varying depictions of the character's appearance and mannerisms—that the writers addressed through in-show humor rather than elaborate plot retcons. This approach preserved continuity while accommodating real-world , affirming Goranson's status as the character's originator without diminishing Chalke's interim contributions. Absent of interpersonal feuds, the recasting dynamics reflected standard industry adaptations to ' choices, particularly the tension between long-term demands and opportunities like higher education.

Film and Guest Television Roles

Goranson's film roles have primarily consisted of supporting parts in independent dramas and comedies, reflecting a selective approach to projects following her early television success. In How to Make an American Quilt (1995), she portrayed young Hy Dodd, a minor character in the ensemble narrative exploring intergenerational stories through , directed by and featuring in the lead. Her performance contributed to the film's focus on familial bonds and personal histories, released on October 6, 1995. A notable role came in Boys Don't Cry (1999), where Goranson played Candace, a friend of lead character Lana Tisdel in the fact-based depiction of transgender man Brandon Teena's experiences and tragic murder in rural Nebraska. The film, directed by Kimberly Peirce and starring Hilary Swank, premiered at the Venice Film Festival on September 8, 1999, before a wider U.S. release on October 8, 1999. Subsequent credits include Sandra in the Jonathan Ames-adapted comedy-drama The Extra Man (2010), which had a limited theatrical release on July 30, 2010, and roles in lesser-seen features such as Love, Ludlow (2006) as Polly and Buck Run (2018) as Misty. This sparse film output, spanning fewer than a dozen credits since 1995, aligns with Goranson's prioritization of roles allowing balance with education and personal life over prolific screen work. On television, Goranson's guest appearances have been episodic and varied, often in procedural or serialized dramas. She appeared as the mother suspected in a child poisoning investigation in the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode "Poison" (Season 5, Episode 24), which aired on May 11, 2004. In Fringe, she portrayed Samantha Gilmore, a woman with a mysterious past tied to experimental science, in the episode "Inner Child" (Season 1, Episode 15), broadcast on April 7, 2009. Additional guest spots include Damages (2012), Sex and the City (2002), and a sketch role in Inside Amy Schumer's "Psychopath Test" episode (Season 4, 2016). These roles, typically one-off or limited, underscore her intermittent engagement with network and cable television beyond mainstay series commitments.

Revivals: Roseanne (2018) and The Conners (2018–2025)

Goranson returned to the role of Becky Conner in the 2018 revival of Roseanne, which premiered its tenth season on ABC on March 27, 2018, with nine episodes produced. The series depicted the Conner family two decades after the original run, focusing on Becky as a widowed single mother raising her daughter Harris while working low-wage jobs, including at a casino, amid persistent economic pressures such as debt and housing instability. This portrayal emphasized Becky's efforts to balance family obligations with financial survival in a Rust Belt setting, drawing from real-world working-class dynamics like stagnant wages and family caregiving burdens. The revival's achieved 18.2 million live viewers and a 5.1 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic, escalating to 27.26 million total viewers after seven days of delayed viewing, according to Nielsen measurements—the highest for a since and outperforming most contemporary sitcoms. These figures reflected broad appeal, particularly among non-coastal and lower-to-middle-income households, as evidenced by Nielsen's total content ratings capturing additional streaming and VOD consumption that boosted totals by over 40 percent. After the Roseanne revival concluded, Goranson maintained her role as Becky in the spinoff The Conners, which debuted on , , and ran for seven seasons until its series finale on , 2025. Throughout 137 episodes, Becky's arc progressed from immediate post-widowhood struggles to addressing relapse, enrolling in for , and navigating co-parenting tensions, underscoring themes of personal and incremental socioeconomic mobility within a fixed working-class framework. The Conners sustained viewership averaging 5.78 million per episode in its second season and comparable figures across later seasons, per Nielsen data, positioning it as ABC's top-rated comedy for total viewers despite declining linear TV trends and competition from prestige streaming content. This endurance highlighted the series' resonance with audiences prioritizing depictions of authentic labor-intensive lives—such as factory work, gig employment, and healthcare access barriers—over the aspirational or niche narratives dominant in Hollywood productions. Goranson's consistent portrayal provided narrative continuity, with Becky evolving into a central figure of familial resilience without altering core character traits established in the originals.

Reception and Impact

This mirrors empirical trends among U.S. working-class women in the and , where access to affordable higher education and economic led to higher rates of early and formation over prolonged schooling, with over 40% of working-class s experiencing amid such constraints. The character's overachieving yet quick-tempered further the tensions of striving for personal within a blue-collar structure, prioritizing empirical obligations over idealized individualism.

Controversies and Public Statements

Response to Roseanne Barr's Cancellation

On , 2018, Barr posted a tweet stating that Obama administration advisor was the offspring of the " & ," prompting widespread condemnation for its of in to a . ABC canceled the rebooted series hours later, with network president Channing Dungey describing the tweet as "abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values," amid reports of impending advertiser boycotts that threatened the show's viability despite its status as television's highest-rated comedy at the time. Lecy Goranson, who portrayed Becky Conner, expressed immediate devastation over the cancellation in a , , post, stating she was "devastated by the cancellation" while emphasizing that "more devastating are the effects of and ." In subsequent interviews promoting the spin-off , Goranson elaborated that the cast missed Barr's on-set presence, recounting her resistance to the decision to kill off the Roseanne character as "too final," and highlighting the original show's value in authentically depicting working-class struggles without pandering to elite sensibilities. The episode ignited debate over the proportionality of the response, with some viewing the tweet as legitimately offensive due to its dehumanizing rhetoric—echoing historical racist tropes—while others contended it represented an overreaction driven by selective outrage, noting the absence of comparable cancellations for inflammatory statements by left-leaning celebrities, such as Kathy Griffin's 2017 image of a severed Trump head or Joy Behar's repeated Hitler analogies for Donald Trump on The View, which drew criticism but no network termination. Barr herself attributed the tweet to Ambien use and poor wording rather than intentional racism, apologizing while questioning the disparate treatment. This perspective gained traction among defenders who argued the cancellation silenced a rare pro-working-class voice in mainstream television, potentially reflecting broader institutional biases against conservative-leaning content.

Personal Views on Political Correctness and Free Speech

Goranson, a self-identified Democrat who voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, has advocated for mutual respect across political divides, stating in a 2018 interview that she respects Roseanne Barr personally despite their differing views on Donald Trump, as "everyone is entitled to their own opinion" as an American citizen. She criticized rigid partisanship, noting that anger hinders understanding of opposing viewpoints, whether liberal or conservative, and praised the Roseanne revival for promoting social dialogue between "two rigid sides" rather than advancing propaganda. This perspective aligned with the show's portrayal of working-class family dynamics amid Trump-era polarization, where characters navigated economic struggles and ideological tensions without simplistic resolutions. In response to the May 29, 2018, cancellation of the Roseanne reboot following Barr's controversial tweet comparing a former Obama aide to , Goranson tweeted on May 30 that she was "devastated by the cancellation," while deeming the broader effects of and on the country and children "more devastating," urging a stand against it. Despite this condemnation, she later expressed empathy for Barr in October 2018, reflecting on missing her presence on set and the personal toll of the fallout, even as the cast proceeded with The Conners without her. Goranson's comments highlighted a tension in Hollywood's response to controversy, where individual expression clashed with network pressures, yet she maintained that Trump supporters were not inherently bigoted, countering reductive stereotypes in media narratives.

Relationships and Family

Goranson was born on June 22, 1974, in Evanston, Illinois, to Stephen Goranson, an official with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and Linda Goranson, an English teacher at Evanston Township High School.
