The Life of Sitcom Star Valerie Bertinelli

During the early 1990s Valerie Bertinelli continued working in television, including a role in the NBC sitcom Café Americain. The show, which aired in 1993, was set in a café in Paris after World War II and featured an ensemble cast in a light comedic setting.

Although the series attracted attention for its international setting and cast, it struggled to gain a large audience and lasted only a short time. For Bertinelli, however, the role allowed her to remain active in television and explore characters different from the one that had made her famous.
