Who’s Still Alive From ‘One Day at a Time’?

One Day at a Time premiered on December 16, 1975, and ran for nine seasons on CBS, becoming one of the most recognizable sitcoms of its era. The iconic series was set in Indianapolis and followed Ann Romano, a divorced mother raising her two teenage daughters, Julie and Barbara, while balancing work and her personal life.

Created by Whitney Blake and Allan Manings and developed by Norman Lear, the show drew directly on Blake’s own experience as a single mother. The show also stood out because it tackled topics that weren’t always addressed on television at the time, including divorce, financial stress, addiction, and the shifting expectations placed on women during the late ’70s and early ’80s.
