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.

I LIKE TO SEE THE WHOLE EPISODES

[@gretchennelson7056]

“I said I’d play with her when I finished studying”😂😂 I love Natalie.

[@donismyname4351]

That made me remember why I used to love this show so much. 🤣

[@jibrildsalami9944]

U had to catch the comdey when she said that🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Mxyzptlksac]

Hard to believe Mindy Cohn was very new to acting. She was very funny and a good smart ass

[@raea3588]

Mindy was my favorite. I think she was so natural because she didn't have previous training and I love her because she was there for all of us who didn't take ourselves too seriously. Who were passionate but loved having fun, who didn't fit the mold (whatever that's supposed to be) when it came to looks but that's okay because we have the best smiles and the best friends who we're always loyal too just like Natalie is

[@carlmartin2710]

She definitely was a natural

[@Mxyzptlksac]

@@raea3588 most of her training came from Kim Fields on set.

[@joshualazenby1387]

She wasn't an actress. Rae and the producers were at a boarding school soaking up local color. She spotted Cohen and introduced her to the producers.

@@Mxyzptlksac Mindy had trouble wit hlaughing at her own lines. It was caught several times during this third season - her opening credit was one instance "....and wine!" during Tootie's drunk episode.

When Tootie made sounds like the ocean, I cracked upas Emily cried even louder! 😅

[@positivelysimful1283]

Tootie: how much trouble can one little baby be? Mrs. Garrett: having raised children, smiles with mischievous glee over what's in store for the teens...

To all u facts of life haters you ya all don't good taste in TV shows

[@michellepost3098]

Those girls were kids, and shouldn't have had to take care of someone else's baby, friend or not. Natalie had to study for a test. I wouldn't have known how to take care of a baby when I was a teen, I was just a kid...and I sure never had one in my teens.

[@yooneeque1]

Maybe Mrs. Garrett thought that if the girls saw how difficult it was to take care of a baby, they'd be less likely to "fool around" themselves.

[@daisy3601]

You missed out on lots of babysitting money.

[@BeeKee404]

To be fair, I don't think it would've been fair to leave all the responsibilities to Mrs Garrett. I do agree that Natalie had the right to not help when she had to study but the others could still cancel their plans to help out.
