About The Facts of Life: At the Eastland School in Peekskill, New York, Edna Garrett (Charlotte Rae) oversees the day-to-day lives of students who come from all walks of life. Under the care of this slightly nutty but always caring housemother is the beautiful, rich and spoiled Blair Warner (Lisa Whelchel); the witty, plump and impressionable Natalie Green (Mindy Cohn); Dorothy “Tootie” Ramsey (Kim Fields), the young and persistent campus gossip; and Joanna “Jo” Polniaczek (Nancy McKeon), a Bronx-born and bred streetwise kid whose tough exterior masks the brains and compassion she's hiding underneath. Whether it's the challenges posed by Eastland's academic and social scenes, the rise, fall and rebirth of the businesses they start and run together, or the comings and goings of new faces in school and town, including Edna's replacement (and sister) Beverly Ann Stickle (Cloris Leachman), the girls are always ready for a new challenge, and perceptive enough to learn from each new situation.

These ladies had such good chemistry together

[@antonyfrancis7357]

Lisa Whelchel was an amazing actress and portrayed Blair brilliantly

[@creativewriter3887]

Yes... especially when she was NOTHING like Blair in real life and that she and Nancy McKeenon were roommates. They both even auditioned for "Friends".

[@DaddyOfTheSugarVariety]

I love that Mindy played Natalie & Velma (years later) with the same sarcastic wit.

[@stevebragg4256]

Her voice reminded me of Velma years before she got to take over the job voicing her!

[@danielcorreard3746]

I've seen Lisa whelchel recently and she is still very beautiful

[@tom11zz884]

Never realized how pretty Blair was

[@kippaseo8027]

I wonder why there was no discussion about visiting the visiting the victims of these poor sweet wonderful souls in prison?

[@barbarak2836]

Thank you! I always wonder why all of our compassion is supposed to go to the people who hurt others, but never to the people who were hurt.

[@EastSide-qc5oy]

@@barbarak2836 Who ever said people who were hurt should not receive any compassion? Sounds like something you made up.

[@juliag.5114]

you’re right let’s just pretend convicts don’t exist and ignore the fact that they’re gonna get out of prison eventually, that mentality has proven to be very effective over the years. also let’s ignore that most people go to prison for drugs which is technically not crime that has victims. you should really watch the whole episode maybe you’ll learn something

[@shauna-kayebrown7952]

@@barbarak2836, hurt people hurt people?

[@crpsaiyan]

Chances are, these are convicts who have committed petty crimes -- breaking and entering and burglary to name a few examples. It's highly unlikely that they will be entertaining people who have caused physical harm to others.
