FACTS OF LIFE 1979-1988 Cast★ Then and Now ★ 2023

[@gertibell]

Mindy Cohn was not an actress before Facts of Life. They found her in a boarding school doing research for the show. She was so bubbly & funny, they decided to create a character for her. That is a well-known fact.

[@kristopherwilhite]

Mindy Cohn did the virginity episode instead...5 years later! Highest rated episode. Lisa Whelchel steered clear of that embarrassing episode all together. It was Nancy McKeon who was just stuck in a sex trope not of her own design.

[@nuttybar9]

Nancy is not 37 and also Kim Fields starred in episodes of Good Times.

[@kristopherwilhite]

Nancy McKeon refuses to do a reunion show. They all vowed never to do a reunion show. She stuck to that!

[@lianelayman6584]

Yea because her mother was also on the show.

[@cathaoir74]

@4:55 they are talking about Nancy McKeon, but that's Mindy Cohn's picture.

[@muzluv33]

Yes and Nancy McKeon is not 37 though she looks great.

[@emmalancaster2013]

I liked that show because the girls weren’t rail thin or gorgeous. They were real looking girls. And acted like real girls.

[@kristopherwilhite]

Blair was supposed to be skinny. Unfortunately Lisa Whelchel began having a food addiction that started with her first church group getting together routinely for donuts and prayer, shortly after Season 2 began airing.

[@Dani-ICU-RN]

Hence,1980

[@lianelayman6584]

The show did try to get them to loose weight and that only backfired.

[@robertharinga8860]

Personally, as a kid , I always thought that Jo and Blair were really pretty.

[@dav1237]

Why is there a photo of Kelly McGillis is in the thumbnail depicted as Mindy Cohn today?

[@pam.276]

You used Mindy Cohn’s picture in place of Nancy McKeon’s when introducing Nancy McKeon and showing her age Then and Now. You need to double check these things.

[@GregoryChew0921]

Whoa that looked like leather face in the thumbnail. I gotta see what’s goin on here.

[@EsterKunin-zs2dw]

I loved Natalie and Joe, then Tudie and Blair, in that order. Natalie had an adorable funny voice. And I loved Joe's personality and everything about her😅

[@muzluv33]

It's Tootie and Jo without the e. And Tootie was her nickname that everyone called her by - her real name on the show was Dorothy.

[@EsterKunin-zs2dw]

I loved Joe, Natalie, Tudie and Blair, in that order😊

[@authorcole]

I knew way back then in the 80s as a child… that those four young girls were going to go far in life…

[@kathyhoot7277]

Love the show!

[@michaelkennedy-mf3ox]

When y'all put those fake pictures in the feed, and then we see the actual footage (or photos), we tend to wonder how factual your information is...🤨🤔

[@brigidspencer5123]

Your editing needs work! Several mistakes in this video.

[@garyskadra5236]

Suanne should've also been chosen to stay on FOL long-term. She was the hottest of all the girls.😍

[@christywhitehead3171]

Nancy McKeon is not 37 I was born in the same year Nancy McKeon was born in and I'm 57 so that makes her 57 years old get your facts straight

[@muzluv33]

That sounds right. She and Lisa Whelchel were the two oldest and abut the same age.

[@kristopherwilhite]

Lisa Whelchel has never been nominated for an Emmy... among other inaccurate details!

[@kristopherwilhite]

The only actress on the show that got an Emmy nomination was Charlotte Rae and that was once.

[@avisjackson4559]

My flavor was blair

[@Luniz-5-On-it]

Why did they all look so old in the 80s.. When I was a kid, I thought they was easily all in their 20s... They still do now

[@failyourwaytothetop]

They didn't look old back then. You probably look very young for your age.

[@tiffanystott9923]

Lisa (Blair) STILL looks amazing!!!! Kim (Tootie) was the crush of many of my African American classmates!! Nancy still looks great

[@nuttybar9]

Why don't you just say Black?

[@tiffanystott9923]

Cuz I'm being appropriate and sensitive

[@nuttybar9]

@@tiffanystott9923 Why is that ,When they are openly racist and talk shit about us?

[@kristopherwilhite]

Lisa Whelchel had such a raw talent but her direction into Christian pop and her battle with "comfort food" addiction was glossed over and she even turned down "FRIENDS" because of her sense of guilt in doing anything controversial or outside of her religious comfort zone.

Thats not Mindy in right side of thumbnail pic.

[@kristopherwilhite]

This is full of absolute misinformation! Horrible!

[@barryputterman2412]

Okay, but whatever happened to George Clooney?

[@muzluv33]

Just became a huge star laughing to the bank.

[@Doc1855]

Lisa has a net worth of $3 million? I’m not an actor, just a retired professional and my net worth is around 1.5 million.

[@kristopherwilhite]

This thing tried to turn Lisa Whelchel into an Emmy winning actress! Uh no she didn't even get nominated! For that to have happened the spaced out Christian Texas actress would have actually had to accept the original story arc of Season 2: Blair loses her virginity. But no the entire plotline was dropped and the show grew weird. NO ONE WAS GETTING LAID. Christian values ruined "FACTS OF LIFE."

[@kristopherwilhite]

Thanks for the shout-out to "BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL" but Lisa Whelchel was never in a soap opera. If you're gonna do such silly embellished stories you should disable comments. I liked your version but it was fictionalized.

If you go on the internet it will tell you see's worth $3 million.

[@Doc1855]

An actor is usually worth a LOT more than just $3 Million. If my net worth is $1.5 Million just from being a normal guy and investing well, then she should be worth more. It just surprised me, that’s all.

Clickbait of Mindy

[@markcombrinck-hertz3649]

hi mindy cohn trask you

[@gregoryagogo]

Mindy Cohn has matured into looking so much like Tyne Daily.

[@jemagu6]

No mention of Charlotte Rae or the many guest stars including George Clooney and Joey Lawrence? Not to mention the various errors throughout. Garbage video.
