Keys in the wild

I remember her from the tv show. She was and still is a sweetie

 

Valeri was one of my childhood fantasies... Rose to fame on "One Day at a Time" in the US, went on to marry Eddie Van Halen, then remade herself gaining/losing weight and cooking. Never noticed the key, though!

 

Major celebrity. Teenage heartthrob to a generation. Married to Eddie Van Halen for many years.

 

Yes one day at a time. She was the show

 

One of the biggest celebrities out there.
Huge crush on her since One Day at a Time.

 

Her name is/was Valerie Bertinelli.

 

Got curious. The "true" story (if she's not hiding the true true story is less exciting.

Long before she and Vitale even thought of marriage, Bertinelli realized that the reason the relationship worked was that they had forged a bond based on personal integrity and empathy. Accepting each other for who they are and loving each other unconditionally is the key to their relationship, one that is symbolized by the delicate key-pendant necklaces — gifts from Vitale — that Bertinelli wears every day.

"These are the keys to his heart, and he has the keys to mine," Bertinelli adds. "Tom has unlocked some things inside me that I usually like to keep buried. Things you don't like about yourself that you're sure someone else won't like, either — but once they're out and in the open, they're not as scary. He unlocks a lot of the stuff that I don't have to hold on to anymore."​

 

Valerie Bertinelli was always one of my favorites.
