I totally drew a blank on this one, well done ladies! And sad about Bonnie. I used to watch One Day at a Time when I was a kid.
It is sad about Bonnie Franklin. Just last year my aunt was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer around the same time as my neighbor across the street. Both only survived a few months before they passed away from the disease.
