When VH1 shot its Top 100 Teen Stars special, the network didn't expect to be the forum for a coming out. But for Glenn Scarpelli, who spent the early '80s playing Alex on the CBS hit One Day at a Time, this was an opportunity he couldn't pass up. After all, like the theme song says, "This is it! This is life / the one you get / so go and have a ball!" Scarpelli did just that, leaving acting shortly after One Day at a Time left the air in order to live his life as a gay man. Currently, he and his partner of eight years, Jude Belanger, are happily ensconced in Sedona, Arizona, where they own a small TV station. In our March issue, we briefly chat with Glenn. Here we include the complete interview with Glenn and Jude.
