Considering Lisa Whelchel hasn’t aged one bit I don’t see why she wasn’t picked to play Blair. Aniston was definitely out of her element.
@moonsyoungestsun65502 жыл бұрын
Yes, Lisa hasn't aged at all. For a minute, I thought that they did a camera trick and had her etched into that scene, especiallybecauseof the same uniform she was wearing from back then. Then I realized that it was actually her and my mouth dropped.

I love Lisa Whelchel. I grew up, watching her on the facts of life. I was a huge fan of that show . I’m not sure if many people know that she was on survivor but I’m watching old episodes of Survivor and on season 25 she is one of the contestants and she does very well & out of all the players on the season only one person recognised her but did not tell anyone instead her & the other person formed a bond together. If you’ve never seen season 25, with Lisa Welch on it, it’s on Paramount.

Gabrielle is a Great "Tootie"! Glad people today are getting a chance to see how awesome a lot of these shows from the "80's" were. A Rich White Dad with Two Black Son's from Harlem. Ground breaking for that time. And it worked! The cast was awesome. Too Bad Gary, Dana, Conrad, and Charlotte are not here to see this celebration of their epic work on this show

Now it is clear that the woman who is "President Lisa Simpson" is among us. In 1994, Lisa pictured reuniting "the entire Facts of Life cast, including longtime holdout Tootie." I guess now, unlike 2001, it can be better accepted that Nancy McKeon's absence from season 1 didn't make her an original cast member. Even sources such as the Entertainment Weekly have accepted Mindy Cohn, Kim Fields and Lisa Welchel as the three original cast members who stayed with the show for its entire run.

Ann Dowd did a great job playing Mrs G. What a difference from playing aunt Lydia on handmaids tale. Joe was too over the top. Jennifer Aniston was horrible as Blair. Lisa Whelchel should have just played Blair. It would have made a better show. She looks exactly the same. I can’t believe she is 58.
