The Ingenue StarSince 1975, Valerie had grown up in front of millions of adoring TV fans as Barbara Cooper, and now, in 1984, she had blossomed into a beautiful young woman and was eager to take on more adult roles. At the age of 22, Valerie stepped up and became what she was always intended to be: a major star.She's got a great deal of accessbility. People from young to old love her, they identify her that she's everybody's girlfriend, she's everybody's little sister, everybody's granddaughter, daughter, (mother?), and we think people respond to that and she really is somebody that the audience loved. During her teenage and young adult years, "One Day at a Time" had been her perfect training ground, fine tuning her skills as an actress, and enabling her to break away from the young innocent girl image, and establish herself as a dramatic actress, but the drama wasn't limited to the screen. It was also being played out off camera in her own life. 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. |
