One Pod at a Time | Valerie Bertinelli | Mackenzie Phillips | One Day at a Time7. Sept.39 Min.

<p>She&#39;s the most requested guest since day one — and she was absolutely worth the wait. Valerie sits down with her oldest friend, One Day at a Time co-star, and honorary sister Mackenzie Phillips for a conversation that spans five decades of shared history, Hollywood childhood, hard-won recovery, and the kind of friendship that picks back up exactly where it left off.</p><p><br></p><p>They go all the way back to the beginning — a chance elevator meeting at CBS when they were both 15, the making of One Day at a Time under Norman Lear&#39;s wing, and what it was like to grow up in the spotlight before anyone had a word for it. They talk about the years they lost touch, the guilt Valerie has carried about not being there during Mackenzie&#39;s darkest period, and the phone calls Mackenzie made — &quot;I just want you to know I have six months today&quot; — that she didn&#39;t expect returned.</p><p><br></p><p>In the Full Reveal — exclusively for Valerie&#39;s Place members — it&#39;s 1970s Hollywood, Rick Springfield, KC and the Sunshine Band, a club they definitely shouldn&#39;t have been in, and the story of how Mackenzie got Valerie out of there before things went too far. Plus: Valerie opens up about her quiet sobriety journey, a viewer asks the question everyone&#39;s thinking (&quot;you two need to do another sitcom&quot;), and Part 2 is coming — because there was simply too much left to say.</p>
