She'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.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'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's darkest period, and the phone calls Mackenzie made — "I just want you to know I have six months today" — that she didn't expect returned.In the Full Reveal — exclusively for Valerie's Place members — it's 1970s Hollywood, Rick Springfield, KC and the Sunshine Band, a club they definitely shouldn'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's thinking ("you two need to do another sitcom"), and Part 2 is coming — because there was simply too much left to say.
