I'm wondering what went through Kim Fields mind when she was filming those scenes. Although she played a 12 year old, Kim was only like 11 when she filmed the "Pretty Babies" episode where a man almost lured her into doing child pornography (He even grabbed her face! Creepy!) and she was only 12 when she filmed "The Runaway" where a man tried to lure her into child prostitution.

Mindy Cohn had panic attacks while reading the "Fear Strikes Back" script and we all know about Lisa Whelchel and her feelings towards the episode where her character was supposed to loose her virginity....

I wonder how Kim felt during her more serious episodes?

That wasn't creepy, that was funny, lol (well, it was played for laughs, anyway...if we're thinking of the same moment)

Now that was creepy! :eek:

Where did you see/hear this? I've never heard this, but that's very interesting...

A fan typed up the transcipt from the Paleyfest Event that Mindy, Nancy, Lisa, Geri, and Charlotte attended in 2014:
