Valerie Bertinelli (born April 23, 1960) is an American actress. She is known for her role as Bonnie Franklin's younger daughter, Barbara Cooper, on the long-running television show One Day at a Time.

Bertinelli was born in Claymont, Delaware to Nancy and Andy Bertinelli; she has Italian ancestry.[1] In later years, she had two short-lived television series: Sydney in which a young Matthew Perry played her brother, and Café Americain. She has also appeared in a number of made-for-television movies and, in 2001, joined the cast of Touched by an Angel.

Bertinelli married Eddie Van Halen in April 1981; they had a son, Wolfgang "Wolfie" William Van Halen, on March 16, 1991. On July 9, 2002, they announced that they had been separated since October 2001. She filed for divorce on December 5, 2005.

Bertinelli was the host of Saturday Night Live (with then-husband Eddie Van Halen sitting in with G.E. Smith and the Saturday Night Live Band) when Dana Carvey introduced his "Choppin' Broccoli" sketch.
