Now that she’s lost over 30 pounds on Jenny Craig, Valerie Bertinelli is ready to reprise the role that made her famous – Barbara Cooper on One Day at a Time! In 2005, the cast, including Bonnie Franklin and Mackenzie Phillips and their TV husbands got together for a reunion show where they chatted and showed sentimental highlights from the old series. At that time Valerie felt she was too chubby to actually film a new episode. That reunion show pulled in huge ratings for CBS and they’re delighted that Valerie recently said yes, she will film a reunion special featuring the characters today.
About The Author
Omigod, this is fabulous news. Mackenzie Phillips is well enough to participate? “Dammit, Julie! Dammit, Barbara!” Remember the hot Jewish guy who played Mackenzie’s hubby? He’s a director now. Can’t think of his name.
Jerry Jewsen.
And the gay boy, Alex. What a great opportunity for a bunch of has-beens to reunite.
yawn…….
good it was great show at that time.
I love Valerie. I’ll watch the reunion.
Reunion shows are usually a disaster. Leave well enough alone.
The actor who played Julie’s husband Max Horvath was Michael Lembeck.
zzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz
If she lost another 50lbs, she would be hot.
She’s always been adorable, no matter her size. Anyway, she wasn’t that big, it’s just that she was so tiny years ago. It happens with age–face it. Sweet girl, love her!!!!! (Not so crazy about the rest of the cast, though.)
I like her good luck with the reunion i hope it’s a hit
Love her!
Maybe they could team up with the WHO’s THE BOSS family and we can see some more fossilized old relics.
“Must-Not See TV”

Valerie Rules! Sweet and ever so nice…
Mt favourite episode was the one where Barbara caught me chewing on her moms panties.
Michael Lembeck played Julies’s husband Max
