Valerie Bertinelli Reflects on 1979 Underwear Photo, Personal Growth

Valerie Bertinelli shared a throwback photo taken in 1979, when she was a teen star on the sitcom 'One Day at a Time,' posing in black underwear and a plaid button-down shirt. The actress recalled that the photo was part of a lighthearted photo shoot at CBS, which ended up on the cover of a magazine with a headline suggesting she was 'growing up too fast.' Bertinelli reflected on her early fame and her whirlwind romance with rock guitarist Eddie Van Halen, whom she married shortly after the photo was taken. The post comes in the wake of her recent breakup with writer Mike Goodnough, who accused her of making indirect jabs at him online. In response to criticism about staying relevant, Bertinelli defended herself, emphasizing the challenges of her past and her growth. She has previously opened up about the struggles during her marriage to Van Halen, highlighting the impact of their relationship on her life.
