Family Ties mama Meredith Baxter is receiving a lot of praise for her bravery in coming out of the closet this week.
And many celebrities have come out in support of her decision to share her secret.
This afternoon, Rosie O’Donnell gave an interview about her friend and the support she is offering to her:
“I called her up and told her she was fantastic and congratulations and she did really well and that I was proud of her. We had a little chat, and it was lovely, because I fell in love with her in 1972 with [TV show] Bridget Loves Bernie. An Irish and a Jewish — that was a big deal back then. It was too controversial for more than one season. And then I loved her on Family Ties. And I love her still. I think she’s great.”
We think so too!
