Thank you.

I wonder if Kim and Julie will be in the audience, cheering her on. I know Lisa will be there. And Charlotte with be there in spirit.

Oh dear, this is a bit awkward; Nancy did not acknowledge Charlotte's passing in any media outlet that I am aware of. Some speculated she has chosen to live a private life, yet here she is going on national television again. Surely she will say something about Charlotte's passing, as I'm sure someone will ask her about it.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Is it alright if I post the statement here?

Statement made by Phil Ackerman, but Nancy told him to post the statement for her.

philackermanhair

This is a must read for all’s the fans of nancymckeon, charlotterae, and factsoflife. She asked me to post her statement.

“All my love is with Larry, Mimi and Charlotte’s entire family.
The depth of my gratitude, love and respect for my sweet Char is endless... I am heartbroken...and will miss my dear friend’s elegant spirit forever.”

Oh, thank you two for sharing that.

You’re welcome. Really nice to see a statement from her.

And Mindy too.

Weirdly, I don't recall Mindy ever going to Kim's dances, when Kim was on DWTS. You'd think she would have been there, since the two of them were always as thick as thieves.

Guys, did I miss a Mindy appearance?

I dunno, maybe her work schedule just didn't "work" out.

Oh, no, I understood that you were talking about Mindy appearing when Nancy will be on. But if Mindy was a no-show for Kim's dances, what are the chances she'll appear for Nancy's shows?

Then again, Kim was on DWTS in Spring 2016, when Mindy may still have been battling breast cancer.

I checked Mindy’s instagram but it doesn’t go that far back. But I know Mindy was there, I think it was for Kim’s first dance cause I do remember seeing it on her instagram after they aired that episode.

Good for her but I won't be watching. It doesn't matter how much I love the actor or actress that's on the show, I don't watch. I just think it's a stupid show, always have, always will.

P.S. I really wish Nancy McKeon was on IG.

I now wonder if Nancy, like Kim, will have an Eastland dance. Wouldn't that be cool?

Since the Dorm Commons Room has already been done, she and Val could glide across the floor of the reconstructed Eastland Cafeteria! They could Cha-Cha from where Blair pied Margo from Fargo, all the way over to where Molly saw Blair's blister. They could Foxtrot around the couch in the lounge and from there west, through the kitchen door. The pair could Tango past the trophy case in the entryway, and then dance through the cafeteria, past the ice cream machine(?) and into the veranda behind the kitchen. That cafeteria has already seen a lot of dances; one more would be great.

^----I. Would. Be. ELATED.

^----I. Would. Be. ELATED.

I know you would be! :lol:

It was quite a surprise when Kim picked the Dorm Commons Room to dance in, during her season. Now I feel like it's the Cafeteria's turn.

Although I suppose Nancy could pick something entirely different. Something from The Division, for example. But isn't she best known for Jo?

It was quite a surprise when Kim picked the Dorm Commons Room to dance in, during her season.

I was shocked! I would have expected the cafeteria/lounge, because I feel that is what most people who grew up with the show (meaning, ones who didn't start tuning in post-Eastland) think of when they think of "Facts". The cafeteria, of course!


Now I feel like it's the Cafeteria's turn.

YES. I don't even watch this show, but I would watch that! (I did see Kim's dance, I think my mom had recorded and kept it for me to see)


Although I suppose Nancy could pick something entirely different. Something from The Division, for example. But isn't she best known for Jo?

Oh, no contest. "Division, Schmision", she will always be known as Jo (hence, why she tried to distance herself from the show as much as she could years ago, to try and break away from that presumed identity). She HAS to pick FOL. She HAS to (say we, lol).

I agree... although I suppose Nancy could choose Edna's Edibles.


YES. I don't even watch this show, but I would watch that! (I did see Kim's dance, I think my mom had recorded and kept it for me to see)

I don't watch it, either, but I for sure watched Kim dance at Eastland, and I'd watch Nancy dance in Eastland, too!

Maybe she'll pick one of those skeezy TV movies of the week to do a tribute to. A Stranger's Glance: The Uma Thurman Story, or whathaveyou.

Hey, '80s! Look which version of the phone they used! :lol:

OMG! LOL! I’ve never seen this clip and Charlotte Rae is so cute! And they did an amazing job recreating the season 1 set and loved Kim’s dance number!

I agree... although I suppose Nancy could choose Edna's Edibles.

Are you kidding? I wasn't even thinking that, I was thinking the worst scenario: She could choose to dance through Over Our Heads! :eek:

Sure, it would be crowded with all that paraphernalia in there, but they would move it all out to the edges---oh jeez, I'd better not give 'em any ideas!

DO THE CAFETERIA!!! lol

Charlotte ended up in her golden years being only 4 foot 7??? :eek:

Kim's Cha Cha Cha

I am really hoping this will open the door to more opportunities for her. What do you all think?? I’m just so excited about this news! How many times can you vote per episode?

Charlotte ended up in her golden years being only 4 foot 7??? :eek:

Might have been from the bone cancer?


A beige-ish phone on a table...what am I missing? :confused:

Well, it wasn't the payphone. Is all. I thought you might find that interesting. Sorry. Nevermind.

I am really hoping this will open the door to more opportunities for her. What do you all think??

I think her being on the show will definitely open doors for her in the future. I hope she lasts a while so we get an Eastland reunion. I want everyone there!

Well, it wasn't the payphone. Is all. I thought you might find that interesting. Sorry. Nevermind.

Ohhh, okay. The way you "said it" and laughed, I thought it was an uber-fan inside joke, lol. I did notice there was no room for the pay phone, lol. And I also noticed several umbrellas by the door! I hope any and all of those would open for poor Nancy! :lol: (Olson, lol).

I hope she lasts a while so we get an Eastland reunion. I want everyone there!

Oooo, that would be awesome!!

I think her being on the show will definitely open doors for her in the future. I hope she lasts a while so we get an Eastland reunion. I want everyone there!

I don’t think we’ve ever seen season 1 girls and Nancy all in a reunion. It’d be awesome for that to happen for the 40th anniversary!

I don’t think we’ve ever seen season 1 girls and Nancy all in a reunion. It’d be awesome for that to happen for the 40th anniversary!

Outside of the episodes themselves ("The Little Chill", etc.), I believe you're absolutely correct: we've never seen the Lost Girls and Nancy together in anything. I'd love to see it, because they did work together during seasons 2, 3, and 8 (or, alternately speaking, eight episodes (2-02, 2-10, 2-13, 2-16, 3-05, 3-09, 3-12, and 8-06) over the course of three seasons. Plus, a full Eastland reunion of all the girls would just be cool. Nancy has been very supportive of the Lost Girls, so maybe it'd be possible.

Then again, Nancy and Molly have both distanced themselves so much from FOL that maybe this is just a pipe dream.

Ohhh, okay. The way you "said it" and laughed, I thought it was an uber-fan inside joke, lol. I did notice there was no room for the pay phone, lol. And I also noticed several umbrellas by the door! I hope any and all of those would open for poor Nancy! :lol: (Olson, lol).

Haha! For extra accuracy, maybe they were malfunctioning umbrellas! They have to get very wet to open! :lol:

Hi, Fact Fans :wave:

I've always been happy Valerie Bertinelli never did Dancing With the Stars, because that would mean I'd have to watch Dancing With the Stars.

>shudder<

But go Nancy!! :wave:

OMG! LOL! I’ve never seen this clip and Charlotte Rae is so cute!

Yes, yes she is. In this clip, she reminds me of a little leprechaun, if it's okay for me to say that. Shrunken, and tiny, but amazingly still Charlotte. And still wonderful.


And they did an amazing job recreating the season 1 set

They truly did. And I expect that same level of detail when (not if, but when) they recreate the Cafeteria set. It must happen.

I was truly amazed at their attention to detail: the three diagonal windows in the back wall, the clock and the globe (the dorm set always had one gajillion globes in it; see the "season one props" thread for a detailed listing), the book case, the beige phone, the couch, the passage to the kitchen/basement... it's all there.

Those sets are time-consuming to build. Yet DWTS must have built that set with only one or two weeks' notice. "Props" to all the set builders and designers.


and loved Kim’s dance number!

Not only was she great, even her dress had an Eastland uniform theme.

AND she brought in Julie Pie for her support. Who I adore, and Kim adores, and I never expected it, and it was just a huge surprise adore-fest for me, full of emotions. A little Eastland reunion with Tootie, Sue Ann, and Mrs. G. LOVE. IT!

Are you kidding? I wasn't even thinking that, I was thinking the worst scenario: She could choose to dance through Over Our Heads! :eek:

I'd be quite disappointed. I want Eastland. But you're right: they could pick that set. Hope they don't.


Sure, it would be crowded with all that paraphernalia in there, but they would move it all out to the edges---oh jeez, I'd better not give 'em any ideas!

Haha! :lol: Yes, please don't. I mean, out of all the sets they could do, the OOH set would be, like, 14th down on the list:

1. The Eastland Cafeteria set
2. Girls' Eastland bedroom set
3. The First Season Cafeteria/Mr. Bradley's office/Gym set
4. Dorm common room set (again)
5. Edna's Edibles set
6. Series finale Eastland set
7. New York City restaurant set
8. Girls' bedroom above Edna's Edibles set
9. Langley College common room set
10. Eastland Auditorium set
11. Eastland Library set (admittedly a biiiiit narrow for dancing)
12. "The New Girl" police station set
13. "A Woman's Place" garage set
14. Over Our Heads set

Hey Opus!

I don't watch DWTS, but I sure enjoyed watching Kim do a tribute to Eastland. And if Nancy does one, I'll be doubly-pleased. and I will watch with popcorn. popcorn: Hoping for a reunion of the entire cast, but would be happy to get just Nancy, Kim, Lisa, Mindy, Molly, and Julie Anne Haddock. Because after the show ended, we can never get more than six girls at a time, apparently. Ever.

Haha! For extra accuracy, maybe they were malfunctioning umbrellas! They have to get very wet to open! :lol:

Haha, true, there has to be one stubborn one! :lol:

I had absolutely no memory of that episode, so I just watched it on Daily Motion.

Now that would be an interesting re-creation!

But unfortunately, one with no resonance for almost any fans.

Yeah, the male dancer in that episode was a one-off, Jo didn't continue ballroom dancing for long, and the episodes by that era were very lightweight.

Still, at least there's a connection there, in that episode, to DWTS.

Maybe they could get the guy who played Eddie, in his sailor's uniform, to "give Jo away" to her partner. Then again, that'd be in the Grungy Motel Room... nevermind.

Nice! We lived out in the country, and someone in the area had a car painted just like the General Lee. Once in a while we would be looking out a window or playing outside and catch it zooming down the road, and that was always fun. :)

(by the way, I discovered those toys weren't called "Big Wheels" like I thought, but "Power Cycles"---?? From more research, apparently Big Wheels came along first, then in the '80s they became the much less child lingo-esque "Power Cycles")

Sadly, I don't know that we'll see Julie this season. Nancy and Julie only appeared in five or six episodes together, so it's not like they're besties, the way that Kim and Julie are, or even the way Lisa and Julie are.

I know. I'm sad about it, too. :(

Maybe. But I give it only about a 10% chance that we'll see Julie cheering on Nancy in the audience of DWTS.
