**Valerie Bertinelli Reflects on 53-Year Career, New Lifetime Project**

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Actress and celebrity chef Valerie Bertinelli, known for her role in the hit series “One Day at a Time” and her successful culinary career, is expressing gratitude for her enduring career as she embarks on a new project.

Currently filming in Vancouver, Bertinelli took to Instagram to share her reflections on the continued excitement she feels on set. “Even after 53 years, there’s still an excitement and clarity in it all,” she wrote, detailing her hour-long commutes which she uses for reflection and line memorization. Despite the long hours, Bertinelli emphasized the joy she finds in her work, saying it’s “the exhaustion of a job well loved.”

Earlier this month, Bertinelli announced her involvement in a new Lifetime production, describing it as an “amazing script written by an amazing writer” with a dream cast. She expressed both excitement and vulnerability about the role, noting the need to “break down all my barriers, shut out the outside noise and be openly vulnerable.”

While acknowledging the challenges of returning to single-camera acting after a four-year hiatus, Bertinelli remains committed to doing justice to the script. Despite the early morning call times, she emphasized her gratefulness for the opportunity to work and savor the small joys of life amidst her demanding schedule.

Bertinelli’s latest project is expected to premiere on Lifetime in the coming months.
