Meredith Baxter and Nancy Locke Getting Married!

Former "Family Ties" actress Meredith Baxter came out as a bi-lesbian back in late 2009. It was revealed at that time that now-67-year-old had been dating a woman named Nancy Locke for (at that time) four years. TMZ is reporting today that the two women have now applied for a marriage license:

Sources tell us, Meredith and gf Nancy went to the Beverly Hills courthouse Friday to get the official paperwork to pave the way for their upcoming nuptials. The wedding date (and wedding details) haven't been announced, but the invites have already been sent to guests -- so it's definitely happening.

This will be Baxter's fourth marriage.

Family Ties was one of my favorite sitcoms back in the 80s (along with other classics, such as Night Court and The Facts of Life).
