A Hot Hit Climbing The ChartsWith her button nose, angelic features, and a bubbly personality, Valerie was rapidly becoming an icon of the 1970s. People used to say she was cute, and she used to hate that, and she says she didn't want to be cute, she wants to get past being cute, she wants to be something else, and it was always one of those buzzword that would tick her off, but, she is cute. She was the sister everybody wished they had.Valerie was the perfect image of a girl who listened to rock music (not Barry Manilow, Val?), liked football, and hated dieting. In short, to audiences from coast to coast, she was just like every normal teenage girl in the country; she's not much different from what the Barbara Cooper character was; she was the sweet young girl. Valerie states that Barbara was basically her. The difference, though, between Valerie Bertinelli and Barbara Cooper, was that, by the age of 21, Valerie was a real-life millionaire, and was the winner of a Golden Globe award. Despite the fact that she was a television superstar, and voted America's sexiest teen, her parents and brothers made sure Valerie had a relatively normal life. She's still the same brat she's always been (just kidding), one of her family members says; Nancy says they keep her well grounded then and today and wouldn't let Val get a big head. "One Day at a Time" was an enormous hit, and Valerie was one of the most watched and talked about televison stars. Several facts were taken off the Lifetime "Intimate Portrait" of Valerie Bertinelli with added facts from "The Complete Directory To Prime Time Network Shows" by Tim Brooks. |
