"The Facts of Life" cast/crew social media posts

['80sSitcoms]

Most of "our girls" from FOL, along with others from the show, are on social media. So I thought it'd be nice to have one collective place to share "Facts"-centric posts from cast and crew. (and even non-"Facts" posts from the gang, if you think they're interesting/touching/fun, etc.)

Here is one I just saw tonight from Nancy McKeon. How touching is this? I developed a whole new respect for Nancy when I discovered from her recent podcast how down to earth she is. And posts like this only reflect that.

(also, I saw while skimming the comments that Kim Fields chimed in---I pasted her comment in the bottom right)

Okay, so Eddie Brennan may not have many fans here (and he doesn't, lol), but this is pretty cool of Nancy to give the actor, Clark Brandon, a shout-out. Wow, I never realized before how she was new to comedy, new to the sitcom format, and new to exploring a relationship-heavy story line, all at the same time! Props to her, indeed!

But she was only 14 and he was in his 20s?? Eeewwwww!

(Also: three point deduction for spelling "birthdays" with an apostrophe. Mr. Gideon would be outraged at Jo's grammar! You check the spelling, and then you double-check! Then you check again!)

Yeah, he was 23, almost twice her age.

...It was a different time.

Ahhhhh,hahahahaha! I saw that too!
Although, to be fair, he wasn't her English teacher, lol. But yeah, I'm sure if he saw that would've corrected her. "It's bad enough you destroyed my career saying I was doing cocaine. But did you have to I was a party celebrating some friends' 'birthday's' ???"

Look! It's "Facts of Life" 's 3 original blonds in one post! Blair, Sue Ann, and Cindy!!

Also, Lisa's accompanying message to the pic says, "I've got some exciting news to share...stay tuned!!" I've circled my favorite responses.

The straw that broke the camel's back wasn't the utter destruction of his Eastland career; it was that she typed "birthday's" instead of "birthdays"!

OMG, I love this!

Julie and Julie Anne liking Lisa's posts, Kim liking Nancy's posts...

If only we could get Molly to like one of Mindy's posts, the circle of "Life" would be complete!

After all, she was just a "hunt-and-peck-er!"

She was quite scary as Penny’s mom on good times

This is so cool!! A "trifecta" of '80s sitcoms! (hey wait, that's me! ha! )

Kim Fields of "The Facts of Life", Anna Maria Horsford of "Amen", and Jackee Harry of "227"! All on the same stage! Wow! And with that red curtain, it looks like they're on "The Muppet Show"!

3 ladies who were on shows I watched every Saturday night as a TV-loving little boy in the late '80s---this is so cool!!
