　　“I remember Sarah asking me, when I’d just begun therapy with

her, what I looked for in a man. After a few moments of

silent, tense deliberation I had it. ‘Hair,’ I blurted. ‘He

has to have hair.’”

Meredith Baxter is a beloved and iconic television actress, most

well-known for her enormously popular role as hippie mom, Elyse

Keaton, on Family Ties. Her warmth, humor, and brilliant smile made

her one of the most popular women on television, with millions of

viewers following her on the small screen each week. Yet her

success masked a tumultuous personal story and a harrowing private

life. For the first time, Baxter is ready to share her incredible

highs, (working with Robert Redford, Doris Day, Lana Turner, and

the cast of Family Ties), and lows (a thorny relationship with her

mother, a difficult marriage to David Birney, a bout with breast

cancer), finally revealing the woman behind the image.

From her childhood in Hollywood, growing up the daughter of

actress and co-creator of One Day at a Time Whitney Blake, Baxter

became familiar with the ups and downs of show business from an

early age. After wholeheartedly embracing the 60s counterculture

lifestyle, she was forced to rely on her acting skills after her

first divorce left her a 22-year-old single mother of two. Baxter

began her professional career with supporting roles in the

critically panned horror film Ben, and in the political thriller

All the President's Men.

More lucrative work soon followed on the small screen. Baxter

starred with actor David Birney as the title characters in

controversial sitcom Bridget Loves Bernie. While the series only

lasted a year, her high-profile romance with Birney lasted 15

volatile and unhappy years. Hiding the worst of her situation from

even those closest to her, Baxter’s career flourished as her

self-esteem and family crumbled. Her successful run as Nancy on

Family was followed by her enormously popular role on Family Ties,

and dozens of well-received television movies.

After a bitter divorce and custody battle with Birney, Baxter

increasingly relied on alcohol as a refuge, and here speaks

candidly of her decision to take her last drink in 1990.

And while another ruinous divorce to screenwriter Michael

Blodgett taxed Baxter’s strength and confidence, she has emerged

from her experiences with the renewed self-assurance, poise, and

understanding that have enabled her to find a loving, respectful

relationship with Nancy Locke, and to speak about it openly.

Told with insight, wit, and disarming frankness, Untied is the

eye-opening and inspiring life of an actress, a woman, and a mother

who has come into her own.
