The Sons of Anarchy actress wrote about her romance with the KISS rocker in her new memoir Grace Notes: My Recollections.

According to the New York Daily News, Sagal first met Gene Simmons when she waited on him when she was working in a Santa Monica restaurant in the early 1970s while pursuing a career as a singer. The then-20-year-old worked with several future music stars, including Ricki Lee Jones and Danny Elfman of Oingo Boingo. But her life changed when Gene Simmons walked into the L.A. area eatery.

According to the Post, Simmons strolled into the restaurant after a KISS show at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in 1974. Gene was persuasive enough to pick up the young waitress after she waited on him. At the time, ’70 supergroup KISS was still relatively unknown, so Gene, who wasn’t wearing the band’s signature makeup, didn’t have to use his star power to get the girl.
