Some other information I forgot to mention, is that she was cast as the lead in the TV show "Working Girl," but left before production started. She was replaced by Sandra Bullock.

She dated Michael J. Fox while Nancy was on Facts of Life and he was on Family Ties.

She is the sister of Philip McKeon.

Question

Can you guys honestly say she's the BEST actress in the world? I mean, she can be your favorite, of course, but do you really think she's a GOOD, convincible actress? Just wondering.

I agree. I will never ever understand why people like her so much. She is just an average actress. Nancy is only big news on this board. To the rest of the world she's just an average actress.

I dont get why Nancy fans say she is soo great because she went from playing a character like Jo to a character like Jinny. First of all over a decade went on between those two shows and second arent they both kinda the same in the badass sort of way?
