Since the 1970's vivacious actress Valerie Bertinelli has been charming audiences with her friendly smile and down to earth nature. Originally from Wilmington Delaware, Bertinelli is best known for her role in the groundbreaking sitcom One Day at a Time, which featured a heavily led female cast that revolved around a single mother raising her two daughters after a terrible divorce. This may seem commonplace in the new millennium but back in the day that kind of subject matter was considered taboo.
