Beyond their on-screen bond, Valerie Bertinelli shared a deep, off-camera connection with her TV mother Bonnie Franklin in “One Day at a Time.
On “The Drew Barrymore Show,” Bertinelli shared that during the filming of their 1975 sitcom, Franklin, who passed away in 2013 at age 69, provided assistance for her deteriorating mental health issues.
As a movie enthusiast, I’d like to share an experience from my past: By the time I hit 20, I had finally met Bonnie. In a heart-to-heart conversation, I confessed, “I’m having a tough time.” Bertinelli remembered this, and sensing my distress, she guided me towards a psychiatrist. She also recommended a therapist for me.
Did your mother, who was on television, act as if she were your mother and suggested that you seek counseling?”, Drew Barrymore inquired. To which Bertinelli replied, “Yes.” (Or more casually: “Did your mom on TV tell you to go to therapy?”, “Yeah.”)
Bertinelli’s story originated during a broader discussion about Ariana Grande, who has suggested that studios and labels ought to incorporate therapeutic services within their artists’ contracts.
“Ariana is absolutely spot-on,” Bertinelli said. “I think people need that support, absolutely.”
As someone who’s walked the same path since my early years in the spotlight, I wholeheartedly agree with her perspective,” Barrymore expressed. “She’s not seeking attention or playing the part of a crusader; instead, she’s genuinely championing for those who need our support.
Originally airing from 1975 to 1984, this series titled ‘One Day at a Time’ spanned nine seasons with a total of 209 episodes. The main characters included Franklin, Bertinelli, Pat Harrington Jr., and Mackenzie Phillips. As the official description goes, the story revolved around a divorced mother, her family, and their apartment building superintendent in Indianapolis, chronicling their various mishaps.
