Bonnie Franklin, best known for her starring role on the hit television series One Day at a Time, was born on January 6, 1944 in Santa Monica, California. Her parents, Sam and Claire Franklin, were both successful Hollywood agents. Bonnie has two older sisters, Barbara and Beverly. She was educated at the prestigious Beverly Hills High School, where she was a cheerleader and member of the drama club. After graduation, she attended the University of California at Los Angeles, where she studied drama.

Franklin’s first professional acting job was in a 1967 episode of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. She went on to guest star on such popular television shows as The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, and Hart to Hart. In 1975, she landed the role of Ann Romano on One Day at a Time. The show was an instant hit, and Franklin became a household name. She starred on the show for nine seasons, until it was cancelled in 1984.

After One Day at a Time ended, Franklin appeared in a number of made-for-television movies and guest-starred on several television series. In 2001, she made her Broadway debut in the play The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife. In recent years, she has appeared on such shows as Hot in Cleveland and The Young and the Restless.

Franklin has been married twice. Her first marriage, to Marvin Minoff, ended in divorce after just two years. Her second marriage, to film producer Marvin Rosenblum, lasted from 1982 until his death in 2009. She has no children.

Franklin has been nominated for two Golden Globe Awards and two Emmy Awards. In 2010, she was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame.

Franklin has an estimated net worth of $8 million.

Quotes

#Quote
1[On theatre acting] I started on the stage. That's where I'm comfortable. That's where I'm the most happiest. It's a totally different technique on film. I just know that (the stage) is where I'm able to do it best. And because of that, I'm happier in this thing.
2[1981] I'm not working with insensitive men. But the men who produce and write the show still don't believe me when I present them with the women's point of view. After seven years, I just want to say, 'C'mon guys, I'm an intelligent person, why don't you just trust me?' I'm so tired of fighting. But you can't give up.
3[re 'One Day' show, 1980:] I know it's just a television show, and I don't think that I am changing the way the world is structured [but] sometimes we strike chords that do make people think a bit.
4It's been pretty much 50-50 between the acting and the singing. The stuff I've done on stage has been so bloody exciting. The roles are just extraordinary. To play a person who is drunk, or angry, or English, or blind, to have that kind of stretch--when you're over 40, that's the exact time of the really great, meaty roles for women in theater. It's a wonderful opportunity to take advantage of that part of the business.
5[as to whether she knew that One Day at a Time (1975) was going to be a hit or not]: As soon as we went on the air we started receiving a lot of letters. The letters were saying, 'This is my life. This is what I'm going through. This is what my mother is like.' And so we pretty quickly got the idea that we were touching something.
6[In 2004, she reviewed clips from One Day at a Time (1975)] "When I looked at the tapes, I remember thinking how thin I looked. At the time, I was always saying, 'I need to lose weight, I need to lose 10 pounds'."
