Valerie Bertinelli grew up in Shreveport. Her brother Pat was good friends with some guys that I went to high school with. A couple of them carried a drunken Eddie Van Halen from his car to her apartment one weekend and were considered legends the next week at school.


I was at Barksdale in 1991, come to staying. Loved the area.

Her dad was an executive with General Motors. They moved to Shreveport after she was a TV star but she visited a lot.

Van Halen was cominng to Shteveport. The owner of the sponsoring radio station gave his daughter some backstage passes which she gave her boyfriend. The boyfriend ditched her and took Valerie Bertinelli to the concert, where she ditched him and hooked up with EVH.

I heard this from the daughter, who I dated for a while a long time after the incident.

The state voted out the tax credits 50 cent was getting here after he purchased some things.

Not sure he was happy about that.

She was hot back in the day. Her gold medal was overshadowed by the Nancy/Tonya drama.

I hope this is somehow voice to text and not bad grammar but you should proofread before you submit.

50 Cent is pretty wild, too.


50 bought cheap, working on getting the city cleaned up, make it a more attractive place to live which obviously will raise the value and he will clean up. I wish more private investors would do this because if you wait for government to do anything... It isn't getting done

Not really. It made the rounds of social media when people first realized she was living here. She’s also embraced the area, so It’s not like she’s been hiding.
