Bertinelli may have achieved early success, but she didn’t stop acting and starred in two 1990s sitcoms, Café Americain and Sydney. She joined Touched by an Angel in 2001, though the show only ran for two seasons. She struggled with her weight for years, but she eventually overcame her issues and became a spokesperson for the diet company Jenny Craig, appearing in different commercials. In 2010, she joined Jane Leeves, Wendie Malick, and Betty White on the hit series Hot in Cleveland on TV Land. After six really hilarious seasons, the show’s final episode aired on June 3, 2015.
