Valerie Bertinelli’s ’70s ‘One Day at a Time’-Era Photo Has Fans Saying the Same Thing

Valerie Bertinelli, the actress known for starring in hit sitcoms like One Day at a Time and Hot in Cleveland, took a trip down memory lane on Dec. 19, sharing a major throwback snap from 1976, shortly after One Day at a Time started airing.

In the snap, when Bertinelli was about 16 years old, she proudly posed with her hands on her hips, standing in a field of flowers. She wore jeans, a dark-colored top, and a patterned kimono-style shirt on top. Her brown hair, parted in the middle, flowed down her back.

Sharing a bit of the backstory, Bertinelli wrote alongside the photo, “flashback 1976 one of my first major solo photo sessions after getting the part that changed my life on One Day at a Time. 💗 I think we were in a field not far from where I lived in the north San Fernando Valley.”

“Wearing all my own clothes and I think I still have that kimono top somewhere. Boy did I love that top, wore it all. the. time,” she added, talking about the stylish outfit.
