One of the original TV MILFs.

[who knows what evil?]

I have the same attitude...

Ditto.

[Borges]

Artists have been outsiders since the Romantic era. William Blake (anarchist by today’s standard) and Percy B. Shelley (expelled from Oxford for advocating atheism) weren’t saints either.

Saw her recently playing a nun on “The Young And The Restless” and thought she didn’t look well. RIP.

[Kommodor]

And the best reason, too!

That and the turkeys.

[Arthur McGowan]

She played Margaret Sanger in a made-for-TV film in the 80s. SAINT Margaret Sanger, that is.

Charlie Sheen

It’s a good default attitude with celebutards, I am never going to be disappointed.

[ro_dreaming]

I had a crush on her - she was my first redhead.

Of course, Valerie Bertinelli is on my “list”. My goodness, that woman is so perky and happy it’s tooth-aching.

Bonnie is the same age as my dad. Wow.

Pancreatic cancer is a bicth.

Pancreatic cancer seems to be more and more common. I knew several people personally who died from it, plus frequent news of public figures dying from it.

I wonder if it was called something else in the past, or if this is a recent development? I know panceatic cancer was heard of much less frequently 20 or more years ago.

Valerie was number one on my list, but I would have made time for Bonnie, too.

RIP Ms. Franklin.

“Back in the day, guys had crushes on her. That dates me. “

You must be older than me. For my contemporaries the lusting was for Valerie Bertenelli.

[nascarnation]

Val still looks pretty good (at 52) in Hot in Cleveland (at least to this old phart).

“The ONLY reason I watched WKRP...”

Oh come on....WKRP was a great show.

“Baily” was the icing on the cake.

Or the cherry on the sundae.

[Nik Naym]

“That and the turkeys.”

You do know turkeys can’t fly, right?

[N. Theknow]

dates me too. i had a crush on deborah walley from BEACH BLANKET BINGO days

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[bgill]

No, Valerie was our age but a lot of the guys were hot on the mom.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I remember that show being advertized. I refused to watch it.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

***I watched that show for VALERIE BERTINELLI!****

From what I read years ago, as Valerie blossomed Bonnie became extremely jealous and short tempered.

[stevio]

I used to watch it, mostly for Valerie Bertinelli. Something creeped me out about Bonnie Franklin’s character. But I realize as I age, I never fully embraced the leftist’s crap, even back then.
