Valerie Bertinelli

Valerie Bertinelli (b. April 23 1960, Claymont, Delaware) is an American film and television actress. She is known for her role as Barbara Cooper on the long-running television show One Day at a Time.

Bertinelli was born in Claymont, Delaware to Nancy and Andy Bertinelli and raised Catholic; she is of Italian descent ([1]).

In later years, she had two short-lived television series: Sydney in which a young Matthew Perry played her brother, and Café Americain. She has also appeared in a number of made-for-television movies and, in 2001, joined the cast of Touched by an Angel.

Bertinelli married Eddie Van Halen in April 1981; they had a son, Wolfgang "Wolfie" William Van Halen, on March 16 1991. On July 9 2002, they announced that they had been separated since October 2001. She filed for divorce on December 5 2005.

Bertinelli, who has slowly gained weight over the years, can now be seen, alongside Kirstie Alley, as a new spokeperson for the Jenny Craig weight-loss program diet commercials.
