If I spoke Italian, I'd be in Italy in a minute. I love the food, I love the way people live there. I mean, it really is my idea of paradise. Bonnie Bedelia foodideaitalian Change image and share on social
My grandfather had been on the New York City force with his 11 brothers around the turn of the century. He was killed in the line of duty. My father, who was 16, was the oldest son, so he had to quit school and go to work to support his mother. Bonnie Bedelia brothercenturycity share on social

Whenever there's heavy-duty emotional work to be done, they call me. As for playing the completely off-the-wall, sexy, gorgeous lady that I am - no, they don't think of me. Bonnie Bedelia callcompletelyduty Change image and share on social
When I was 14, my mother died. My father, who had always had ulcers, came apart. He had a series of intestinal operations, and was in the hospital for nearly a year. So the four of us teenagers lived by ourselves in the apartment without a guardian. Bonnie Bedelia apartmentdiefather share on social
If someone were to come from another planet and see the world through movies, they'd think that the world was populated by white men in their 30s who shoot a lot. Bonnie Bedelia 30slotman Change image and share on social
I've had some interesting roles along the way, but they tend to be cause-driven. They're always about something. There isn't time for character work as an actor because you're fighting the cause or mourning the child or fighting the disease, etc. Bonnie Bedelia actorcharacterchild share on social
I don't consider roles like in 'Die Hard' what I do. This is like a hobby. It's fun. I had a good time. And I love being in a movie that people actually go see. But it's about things getting blown up. It's not about great character development. Bonnie Bedelia blowcharacterdevelopment share on social
It's hard to think it's important to try out as cheerleader when you're starring on Broadway. But you do kind of miss the things that I now see my children doing. I'm just happy they are not actors. The Valentine's Day dance is really important. Pitching in Little League is very important. And the medals and the scouts are really important. Bonnie Bedelia actorbroadwaycheerleader share on social
I grew up in a slum neighborhood - rows of tenements, with stoops, and kids all over the street. It was a real neighborhood - we played kick-the-can and ring-a-levio. Bonnie Bedelia growkickkid Change image and share on social
