ok, so, the other night, I was watching Twister and I saw a lady and I couldn't remember who she was, I kept interrupting the movie for my mom and brother going "who is that?! I know I've seen them before!!" Well, it turns out I remembered about half way into the movie that I had seen them on the Facts of Life!It was Boots St.Clair!!so, i looked and I found out that I was right it was Jami Gertz(aka, Boots)so, does anybody else know of someone that moved on to other shows after guest starring on FOL(besides George Clooney we all know how famous he is!)Post Soon!!

I remember a episode with Helen Hunt.#8 I think. Dope. Also Charo guest stared in Come Back to the Truck Stop Natalie Green. Stacy Q(singer) was in 2 episodes. Broadway Baby, & A Star is Torn.Also Molly Ringwald was in the 1st 13 episodes. Also in the last episode
(Blossom) Mayim Baulk,Seth Green,& Juliet Lewis play students. I also rember Zsa Zsa Gabor in a episode.

If you go to www.sitcomsonline.com/thefactsoflife.html (http://www.sitcomsonline.com/thefactsoflife.html)
they have a section called notable guest apperences and they list all the guest stars that were on facts of life adn what episode they were in. It is very interesting.

John Astin was that piano player, and Robert Mandan played Mrs. G's ex-husband. Dick Van Patten played Beverly Ann's husband.

Andrew Carden

Actually, Robert Alda played Mrs. G's ex, and Robert Mandan played Bruce. Close enough though. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

Megan Follows (from the Anne of Green Gables movies) was on an episode. I think it was called Jo's Cousin. Not too sure about that episode name though~
