Bonnie Franklin, who played hardworking single mom Ann Romano on One Day At a Time from 1975 to 1984, died Friday at the age of 69. From what I remember of the show from watching it in syndication in the early 80s, Ann, although busy and sometimes overwhelmed by the pace and realities of everyday life, always had time to lend a smile, an ear, or perhaps some firm but loving guidance to her feisty daughters Barbara and Julie, played respectively by Valerie Bertinelli and Mackenzie Phillips. The show resonated with my sister and me, because we had a mother who did (and continues to do) the same thing. This one's for you, Mom.
