Valerie Bertinelli on Embracing Life & Self-Acceptance at 65

About this video

Valerie Bertinelli reflects on a life marked by resilience, reinvention and hard-won self-acceptance, from surviving serious health crises to navigating two divorces and finding the strength to heal after childhood sexual abuse. In this candid conversation, the actress opens up about posing naked at 65 for her new memoir ‘Getting Naked’, a bold step toward healing her body image and, as she puts it, “apologizing to my body” after years of self-criticism. Calling herself “the calm in the choppy sea,” Bertinelli shares what it’s been like to start over in her 60s, what she wants if she dates again, and why, after everything, she can honestly say: “I love my life right now.”
