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.

LOL. Eve Plumb always seemed to be playing a step-sister!

[@kallen868]

Wow! Eve (Jan Brady)Plumb! How did I not remember this guest appearance?

[@johnrobinsoniii4028]

Holy Moley, that’s “Jan Brady”??? INTERESTING!!!!!

[@felix121984]

Brady kids were guest on a lot of tv series in the 70's and 80's. Pete brady was Officer Baker's nephew.

Never watched this show but Eve looks pretty here. 😊

[@jacobkemezys3453]

Marcia: That's funny I don't remember God being at our skule! Jan: He's really good looking and God thinks I'm super cool! Marcia: Sure, Jan!

[@sharonanderson540]

I love eve plumb on the Brady bunch

[@pancudowny]

Meg: "...Then in three months, I'll be a nun!😇" Natalie: "How😟?" Tootie: "When??😲" Blair: "Why...?🤨" Me: "Damn...!😕" (Quickly covers mouth😳)😆

[@rockandrollwithjackplum]

Blair was the most gorgeous one on the show

[@tnz6334]

This is the episode I missed. The only part I saw was the end of part one where Jo says she wants to become a nun.

[@dm95422]

Could you post the one where Blair is met by her mother (Pam Huntington who plays "Monica Warner") from Season 1, Episode 2 ???

[@loganarnoldkicks4321]

and Jan, my dear Jan, isn't Blair gorgeous ?

[@StacysRevivalCreations]

Jan, Jan, Jan.....George Glass is going to be so disappointed that you're going to be a nun!

[@mocat1]

🤣🤣 I *thought* it was her! Glad I saw your post. Too funny.

[@nassauguy48]

If she wanted to redefine herself, just put that black wig back on and become the NEW JAN BRADY! 🤣

[@creativewriter3887]

"the name says it all; NUN." .. blanche deveraux..

[@laurenmontera9516]

She forgot all about him, like he never even existed.😅

[@hoibsh21]

Eve Plomb was HOTTT!

[@opiokapi4418]

❤❤

[@larrywakeman4371]

Eve is so classy.... Love her, Kim

[@annagalati34]

How is Meg's last name Warner when Blair's father is not Meg's father and Blair's mother is not Meg's mother?. Blair said that her mother was briefly married to Meg's father. Oops they goofed up here.

[@ravenel2]

Blair’s sister is Jan Brady?

[@stephenholloway6893]

Yes Eve Plumb guest starred in this two parter.

[@eileenryan2248]

ravenel2, I didn't know that. I missed this episode.

[@nassauguy48]

Why not, Eve Plumb has a penchant for playing someone's step-sister! Maybe Carol Brady had another love interest that no one knew about!

[@jackilynpyzocha662]

Eve Plumb!

[@corinnekeast673]

Trying to make up for Dawn Weatherbee!!

[@undertakerfanz628]

Tudie was my boo

[@nassauguy48]

Apparently, no one noticed the cross on Meg's blouse lapel.

[@craigbrock847]

Does anybody know anything about the facts of life fax machine ?

[@videox222ify]

Blair was so judgmental in this ep

[@nassauguy48]

Later on, it was learned that it was not because of her love for money and why Meg would want to give all of that up. Blair had an issue against God because she blamed Him for her parents' divorce. This must have been difficult for Lisa Whelchel due to her strong real life Christian faith.

[@karenmonson9893]

Blair's hair color isn't good. This color is to light for her complexion. Eve Plumb looks much more natural.

[@nassauguy48]

Lisa is a natural brunette, Eve is a natural blonde.

[@QouteTheRavenNevermore]

I remember this. I wanted to be a Nun until I was 16.

[@DaddyOfTheSugarVariety]

The title should be Blair's Stepsister Joins A Cult.

[@auntiechercher4266]

In the last year of The Brady Bunch Eve Plumb was gorgeous. Here she looks blah.

[@nassauguy48]

I thought she was very attractive here!
