Just the "Facts": Mindy Cohn returns!
by Michael Ausiello
11 22 2010

Brenda Hampton is reviving the career of another ’80s icon.

The writer-producer — who made Molly Ringwald relevant again in "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" — has tapped "The Facts of Life’s" Mindy Cohn (go, Natalie!) to join the cast of her currently untitled ABC Family drama as a regular.

Cohn will play Cecilia, the overprotective mother of underachieving funny girl Dylan (Ana Lucasey).

The hour-long project revolves around four ethnically diverse teenage girls (Lucasey, Katelyn Tarver, Valerie Tian, and Christian Serratos) who attend private school in California.

Brad Rowe also stars.

sounds like 'Facts'. lol. Nancy in 'Sonny'; Kim doing things here and there; Mindy doing this pilot. Now, it's Lisa's turn to step out of hiding.

Right on, Mindy! Congrats and do your thing, girl!

I've watched a few episodes of 'Sonny' but have never actually seen Nancy get any airtime. Does she???

My kids watch it all the time and Nancy does appear in 3 or 4 episodes. If she is in an episode, she does get quite a bit of airtime, she's just not in most of the episodes.

She is also making news with the revelation that she's close friends with Angelina Jolie and Brat Pitt, and god mother to their twins...
