and on season 2: TOOTIE is 13, NAT 14 & BLAIR 16?
To be honest that's wrong cos TOOTIE looked closer to 10 or 11 on season 1 & NAT 12 + BLAIR 14 or 15....
Kim Fields was 10 in season 1. Mindy was 13. Lisa was 16

Wrong: there is only 4 years difference between TOOTIE and BLAIR not 6 lol! (in real life yes but not on the sitcom lol!)
And in my opinion: JO got on better with NAT (both street kids who enjoy a challenge) & TOOTIE with BLAIR (both love fashion and are totally hopeless romantics!)

No one said there were 6. I said Kim Fields, the actress, was 9 in "The Girls' School". While Kim was 9, her character Tootie was 12.

Tootie aged differently than the other girls. She is probably going on to 30 now while the other girls are in their 50s.

I wonder what role Julie Ann auditioned for in Girl's School? I am surprised that they past her over for Jennifer, Laura, and Leon. But then again, the producers showed over and over that they wouldn't know talent even if they tripped over it.

Oooh! Interesting. I’m guessing Nancy or Blair, side note: no wonder Nancy became wall paper, they added two girls to the cast

In my opinion, Julie Ann remains the most beautiful of the girls. She was really beautiful in The Little Chill

Or they had Cindy and Natalie replace Jennifer and/or Laura. The only two named girls in The Girls School who didn't make it to Rough Housing. There was Leon too, but he probably ended up in Miss Mahoney's science lab.

Kim was 10 in season 1 (9 when Girls School was taped), Mindy really was 13 (matching the age of Natalie), and Lisa was actually 16.

Though it took a little while to get used of seeing her without her trademark braids. And it just was not FOL she wore braids. She had braids in Wonder Women, Little House on the Prairie.

Maybe, but Laura and Jennifer were more wallpaper in that ep than even Nancy

Yes, i remember JULIE ANNE HADDOCK from 'Wonder woman' and 'Little house on the prairie' (i didn't know FOL back then) and i always thought she was beautiful.

In my opinion, from order the most beautiful girls on FOL were:

1. BLAIR
2. NANCY
3. CINDY
4. SUE ANN
5. TOOTIE
NAT and MOLLY were prettier later on as teenagers.

PS: i know most people vote for SUE ANN, but i found that NANCY had a lot of resemblance with BROOKE SHIELDS, so she was gorgeous!
