Smile Nancy McKeon is the best not Kim Fields

The reason y so many people r talking about Nancy is b/c she was and still is the best. I know that u guys r all talking about Kim behind the camera on her show but Nancy wrote and produced her own little short movie and she she produced and starred in Fire Fighter in I think '85 and she produced and starred in Strange Voices in '87 where she plays a szitophrenic person and she was amazing. Nancy started working when she was 2. What were u guys doing when u were 2??? Nancy was the most popular, talented, and the most beautiful. She's the best!!!

In response to Amanda, have you forgotten that Kim Fields has been in the business since she was about 2 years old as well. Like Nancy, Kim Fields co-wrote, produced and directed a short film titled Silent Bomb. She was on Living Single for 5 years and directed on Living Single. How long did Nancy's sitcoms last? 1 year or so. Kim Fields has directed music videos, plays, sitcoms and her movie Silent Bomb. I understand she's also in Houston directing a tv project. She's also in the play The Vagina Monologues. This play has starred some famous actresses. Yes, I like Kim Fields. I have respect for Nancy McKeon but she's not the only actress on Facts of Life or any sitcom. You guys think that she is the only living actress. In my opinion, Kim Fields is prettier, more talented and can compete with Nancy McKeon any time. All applauds to Kim! Like I read on another message yesterday, I think it's a racial thing. If Kim Fields was a white, she would certainly get more recognition.

Ok, This is just my opinion. Yes, someone did have a good point about Living Single compared to Can't Hurry Love, but I think Lisa Whelchel should get some credit too. I mean, if anyone has ever read Creative Correction, they would know how hard it is to raise 3 kids, and some of the stories in there...well, they certainly tell it. Yes, she may not have produced anything, or had her OWN sitcom, like where she was the main star along w/no one else, but she should get some of the credit too. Just an opionion

Everyone is different and has different opinions, so every ones favorite actress is going to vary. I'm cool with that. I just wish racism wouldn't be brought into the picture.

I didn't start this topic for a fight. I started it so I could voice my opinion. I don't like Nancy b/c she's white and I don't dislike Kim. I think she's very beautiful and talented but I like Nancy better. As a matter of fact, my boyfriend is black and I'm white and u shouldn't say that we like Nancy b/c she's white. Personally, I think that Nancy has gotten more reconization on tv then Kim Fields but oh well. That's b/c more people like her.

Nancy was the custest little thing i've ever seen. She was a model when she was younger and she should be now. Kim Fields hair looked like **** on who wants to be a millionaire. At least Nancy has her own hair.

I agree. Everyone has their own favorite and it seems rather silly to turn this into a competition. It's great that everyone is voicing their opinion, in fact I love hearing a different viewpoint. It gets boring when everyone loves the same thing. But I certainly don't see the need to start insulting the actresses, or each other for that matter.

Just wanted to add that I do have my favorite but I love all 4 girls. I can't imagine FOL without any one of them. They are all what made FOL such a great show in my opinion.

KS--it looks like your the only one that ever said anything about people not liking Kim cause she's black. Racisim isn't even a topic here! Why blame Kim's lack of popularity automatically on racisim? That doesn't make too much sence

Oh come on. Let's not start this again. We all have our favorites. Ks didn't say anything about not like Kim because she's black. She just said she wishes it wouldn't be brought up. This is a really stupid thing to fight about. There's no point. They're both great actresses and people in their own ways.

On April 24, 2008, Dana and I are going to meet in LA and handcuff ourselves to Nancy McKeon and Jay Harrington, and you're not. Ahahaha!

Jay Harrington is all mine! I don't care what you guys say, cuz he's mine! Not yours! AHAHAHAHAAAA!

Teddy: Hey, I'm making you an offer you can't refuse.

Jinny: Look, you know who I am, OK? You know who my family is. Why the hell do you even wanna be with me at all?
Teddy: Because, I love you.

Jinny: What was she expecting? The welcome wagon?

Jinny: Basically, people are who people are. Your born, you die pretty much the same person. All the rest is just window dressing.

What does their hair have to do with ANYTHING? This is the most uncalled for post I have EVER read here, and this topic is pretty damn lame. One of the poster's above is right, that you just posted this to get attention. Stupid! Now all you're doing is pissing off people.
This is obviously a biased topic and really, your opinion really shouldn't be valid. Especially after what you posted above.

Ok look, everyone, ok personally I like Nancy McKeon a lot better, but we really have to stop this because they are both great actresses to have accomplished what they have in they're lifetime, it's more than many of us ever will so why are we fighting over this. Who cares who's show stayed on longer and who produced more movies, they are both remarkable women. It's just a matter of choice, it has nothing to do with racism, so no one has to worry ok.
