Post who changed the most?

Out of Charlotte Rae, Nancy McKeon, Lisa Whelchel, Mindy Cohn, and kim Fields, who do you think changed the most in looks, voice, ability to act, etc.

Whoa, this is too weird! I was just thinking about posting this question! Anyway, I think Nancy and Kim have changed the most looks wise. Mindy's acting ability improved greatly.

I think Kim has changed the most in looks; She doesn't really even look the same. Actng wise, I agree with most of you, definatly Mindy. Voice wise? Kim. So mostly I am repeating what you all said lol. IMO Lisa looks EXACTLY the same, except her hair. She says that most people dont recognize her if her hair is in a ponytail? I would recognize her ANYWHERE!

ok, yall know how I'd LOVE to write MRs.Garrett up here, but MRs.garrett/Charlotte Rae didn't really change much during FOL!


Kim Fields voice was probably most changed, and I think Mindy Cohn's acting ability improved the most.Looks, I"m not sure, probably Nancy McKeon.

I think the girls changed the most, of course, but Mrs. Garrett changed a lot between seasons 1 and 2. Not only in appearance (different hairdo, weight loss), but in character as well. Her speech patterns changed (she became well-spoken), and she was no longer as laid-back.

Geez...we've been through this discussion several times before....I just don't see it. I don't even think it's important.
