Has anyone ever met any of the cast? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

folie_a_deux · 09-17-2006, 11:15 PM

I'm just wondering if anyone here has ever met anyone from FOL? If so, were they nice? Do they look better on TV or in real person? Or even if you haven't met them, I wouldn't mind knowing anything about the actors/actresses from articles, etc. in terms of what kind of people they are.

My first post!

By the way, I think Blair is sooo pretty. Damn her...

First off, welcome! We are glad to have you.

There a alot of people who have met the cast. A LOT of people met Lisa when she was going all over the US in her RV a few years ago. I'm one of those.

Lisa is a real down to earth EXTREMELY religious wife and mother. Her faith influences everything she does. She also has a great memory. I actually met her twice and she remembered me the second time. Severla people here have said that she has remembered them after meeting them once. That is SOME memory.

There are a BUNCH of posts about meeting cast members, feel free to browse the old posts and read the stories. Most people posted pictures whenever they met them.

Again, welcome.

I'm actually a new fan. I finished the first season and just started the second season and I'm hooked, and from what I've read, the show only gets better so I am totally excited to see the rest. I remember seeing the show when I was like six and being scared of Jo. I remember thinking "Why is she so mean?" Ha. I guess her sarcasm came off as anger to me when I was a kid.

It's strange because although I never really watched the show, I must have images of the characters in my subconscious from seeing them in the past when I was really young because every so often while watching it now, I'll see one of the characters and sometimes get this deja vu feeling. Spooky...

I met Mindy when she was here in Toronto filming the reunion ep... she was very nice - we had a laugh.

I'm a pretty new fan myself. The only episodes that I watched when the series was in first run (I was only three years old when FOL premiered in 1979) were "The Apartment" and the series finale. I was a huge fan of Diff'rent Strokes and loved Mrs. Garrett on that show (she was easily the best of the three housekeepers), but I just never got into Facts.

I remember about a year ago someone telling me that I should give FOL a try since Jami Gertz was on it for a season (I LOVEEEEEE Jami!

) but my whole additude was like "Yeah. Sure. Whatever."

Than last December I decided to give Facts a try and I just fell in love with the show. I love how the show mixes comedy and drama. And the characters are great...especially Jo and Blair.

I read the thread about you meeting Lisa! So cool.

I can't believe I found the page the thread was on. I just chose a page to read and it was there. What a fluke.

I met Lisa Whelchel twice. She is a very nice lady. I also met her husband Steve and saw her son Tucker. I got her autograph and picture taken with her both times. The first time I made her a Blair doll. She put it on her website. The 1st time was at a Christian Book store signing. The second wasa an Enrichment event.

ABlairican Pie · 09-25-2006, 11:26 PM

I've met Lisa on a number of occasions, in 1987-88, and in 2001 and 2002 during some of the most devastating times of my life. She has always been my biggest inspiration, her faith is so infectious!!!

Nighthawk76 · 09-26-2006, 01:28 PM

I hope that I get to meet Lisa someday. She seems to be a truly amazing human being with a really big heart.

FolFanatic151 · 09-26-2006, 05:03 PM

I've met both Lisa Whelchel and Kim Fields, and they are both absolutely delightful, lovely women.

SHE IS!!!!! Every once in a while I get a message from her mother in-law, like on Lisa's birthday in May. Two years ago her mother in-law was very supportive of me when my mother passed away.
