Spending time together as a family was a big part of Sophie's childhood. "I think the best thing that my husband and I did is we had dinner with [Sophie] every single night of her life," Bette says.
Bette and her husband, Martin von Haselberg, have been married since 1984, and Bette says they make a conscious effort to keep their relationship strong. "He taught me flexibility; he taught me a certain kind of generosity of spirit that I actually did not have before I met him," Bette says. "I was a really selfish girl when I met him. I was 38 years old. I had lived a whole life, two whole lives, and I was very, very self-involved because I'd had this [career] that I was doing and I was devoted to."
Sophie thinks one of the best decisions her parents made was moving the family out of Los Angeles.

"I think I'd be a really different person."
