Dream Casting: If they made a Facts of Life movie, who do you want starring in it? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

JNSBSB · 12-23-2004, 06:34 PM

I happen to come upon this in a celebrity magazine article that mentioned "Dream Casting" and it talked about possible casting for the roles of Mork and Mindy, CHiPs, Facts of Life, and two other shows. And on the Facts of Life Dream Casting, they had Jessica Simpson as Blair, Renee Zellwegger as Natalie, Raven as Tootie, and Eliza Duchsu as Jo. I forgot who was Mrs. Garrett.

And besides that point, my personal favorites for the Dream Casted roles would have been Cathy Bates as Mrs. Garrett, Faith Hill as Blair, and either Lindsay Lohan or Sara Gilbert as Jo. I would still keep Raven as Tootie and Renee Zellwegger as Natalie respectevly.

And if they ever decided to turn this into a mere music video with singers as our favorite FOL girls, I would have Loretta Linn as Mrs. Garrett, Faith Hill again as Blair, Sheryl Crow as Jo, again Raven as Tootie, and sweet lil' LeAnn Rhymes as Natalie. Now that'll be a music video worth watching on MTV, VH1 or CMT, whichever has the better music videos.

My dream cast would be Natalie- Drew Berrymore, Tottie- Theresa Randle Blair- Sara Jessica Parker Jo- my first choice would be Nancy Mckeon but since she doesn't want to relive her old character I would chose Sandra Bullock Mrs. G- Bette Midler Beverly Ann- Goldie Hawn Andy- Devon Sawa

Bette Midler... that could be interesting!

hch · 12-27-2004, 12:13 PM

well here are my personal choices for the cast of The Facts of Life:

Mrs. Garrett: Kathy Bates (right on the Money), Bates can really pull it off.

Blair: Brittany Snow

Tootie: Camille Winbush

Natalie: Lori Beth Denberg

Jo: My money's on Caterina Scorsone

Nancy: Christy Romano- sure fire bet

Sue Ann: Mischa Barton- she could pull it off

Cindy: Kiersten Storms

Molly: Alyson Stoner

Andy: Jeremy Sumpter

Cliff: Benjamin MacKenzie (on the one hottie)

Beverly Ann: Goldie Hawn (someone was right on that one)

George: Jeremy London

Jessica Simpson as Blair Warner? Hmmm that I'd like to see.

Amy Jo Polnaizchek · 01-04-2005, 07:39 PM

Amy Jo Johnson as Jo Polnaizchek. She has the looks and the hair, especially when tied into a ponytail as I saw of her recently.

Reese Witherspoon or Cameron Diaz as Blair Warner.

Amy Jo Polnaizchek · 01-04-2005, 07:40 PM

Meg Ryan as Natalie Green.
