Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Bonnie Franklin: (Discussing problems in her first marriage to Ron Sossi) We were very much in love. But then I made this discovery. There was something I needed to do that had nothing to do with cooking meals and having babies. I developed this incredible guilt about not being your usual little housewife, and my sinuses started acting up.
-
Bonnie Franklin: (While reviewing tapes of "One Day" for a 2004 special) 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'.
