Valerie Bertinelli tried to reminisce about the '80s on 'The Drew Barrymore Show,' but admitted the decade was a little fuzzy for her.
Valerie Bertinelli’s memory is a little hazy when it comes to the '80s. The 'One Day at a Time' star appeared on 'The Drew Barrymore Show' Monday, looking back on photos from the decade, including one taken following her marriage to the late Eddie Van Halen. 'I look at that and I think: ‘That is a puffy face, and someone who needs to start taking care of herself,’' she said.
Barrymore gently teased her, saying she sounded like 'an ABC Afterschool Special,' adding she had starred in one called '15 and Getting Straight.' 'By the way, I was also the ‘Just Say No’ girl with Nancy Reagan,' she noted, with a pause before saying, 'until I just said yes.' Bertinelli said she’s made peace with her past decisions, acknowledging Barrymore has as well.
Listen, I forgive us all of that,' she said. 'We coped the way we knew how to cope with a really challenging, strange life. And also, we have to start giving ourselves grace for just trying to learn through stuff.' 'I mean, that was the ‘80s though. I don’t remember that. I don’t remember anything about the ‘80s.' Barrymore agreed, 'We hurt ourselves far more than others.
have decided to go Dry January. I like it so far,' Bertinelli announced on her Instagram story at the time. 'I'm doing it for two reasons. One, I want to try and cut down the cravings for my sugar. And I think alcohol exacerbates that.' Secondly, she said, 'I want to calm down the cortisol in my body that has been raging for the last five, six years. I've been in fight, flight, freeze, fawn mode. And I want to go into rest and digest,' she shared.
