ok, so, the other night, I was watching Twister and I saw a lady and I couldn't remember who she was, I kept interrupting the movie for my mom and brother going "who is that?! I know I've seen them before!!" Well, it turns out I remembered about half way into the movie that I had seen them on the Facts of Life!It was Boots St.Clair!!so, i looked and I found out that I was right it was Jami Gertz(aka, Boots)so, does anybody else know of someone that moved on to other shows after guest starring on FOL(besides George Clooney we all know how famous he is!)Post Soon!!

If you go to www.sitcomsonline.com/thefactsoflife.html
they have a section called notable guest apperences and they list all the guest stars that were on facts of life adn what episode they were in. It is very interesting.

John Astin was that piano player, and Robert Mandan played Mrs. G's ex-husband. Dick Van Patten played Beverly Ann's husband.

Actually, Robert Alda played Mrs. G's ex, and Robert Mandan played Bruce. Close enough though.

Megan Follows (from the Anne of Green Gables movies) was on an episode. I think it was called Jo's Cousin. Not too sure about that episode name though~

I heard that Lela Rochon Fuqua guest starred once. Is that true?

Alan Ruck was also in Twister. He was Camaron in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

The guy who played "Biff" in Back to the Future (with Michael J. Fox) was in FOL. IT was the episode where Jo began a school protest about the school getting a new scoreboard.
