Tami Lynn launched Valerie's career in the CBS hit TV series, "One Day at a Time" (1975-1984). Tami Lynn was Valerie's Personal Manager from 1971 through 1979.

In January 1975, the situation comedy "One Day at a Time" (1975-1984), produced by Norman Lear, premiered on CBS with Bertinelli as "Barbara Cooper", one of two daughters of a recently divorced woman. The show was a long-time hit and ended production in 1984, without being canceled.

Ms. Bertinelli has starred in three feature films: C.H.O.M.P.S (1979), Ordinary Heroes (1986), and Una bala para Número Uno (1987). She was also the protagonist of the miniseries, "El rey de Manhattan" (1987), based on a novel by Judith Krantz. She has appeared in made-for-TV movies almost annually since 1979. She was also the star of two other situation comedies, "Sydney" (1990) and "Café americano" (1993), both of which were canceled after short runs. In 1981, she married rock guitarist Edward Van Halen. They had homes in the Hollywood Hills and Malibu and have a son, Wolfgang Van Halen. They separated in 2001, when Van Halen had tongue cancer. In 2005, Bertinelli filed for divorce for irreconcilable differences and, it was finalized two years later. Ms. Bertinelli is still chiefly remembered by her television fans for her work on "One Day at a Time" (1975-1984).

She stars as "Melanie Moretti" on the Emmy® Award-winning series, "Póquer de reinas" (2010), which in 2011 was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award® for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. The comedy revolves around three fabulous LA women of a certain age, and best friends (Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves and Wendie Malick) whose lives are changed forever when their plane, bound for Paris, unexpectedly lands in Cleveland. Once safely on the ground, they soon rediscover themselves in this new "promised land" -- meeting their new landlord, played by Betty White. ... (more)
