Are Nancy McKeon and Philip McKeon related?

[Edward216]

I wasn't sure where to post this, I could've put it in the Alice sitcom forum but I figured oh well I'll put it here because it's as good a place as any. LOL.

I've wondered for a long time if The Facts Of Life's Nancy McKeon and Philip McKeon (Tommy on the sitcom Alice) are sister and brother or related in some other way? Does anybody know? I've never heard they're related but I've never heard they aren't related either. I was just thinking if anybody else has ever wondered about that or if any forum members here know for sure. Thanks.

Oh, and if they are related, does anybody know if they ever appeared together in a TV show or movie? Just curious.

OK thanks bonniegirl62! I figured they must be but I've never read or heard it talked about in any interviews. I didn't realize they were that close in age either!

Hi Ed Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.

Even though Phillip is blonde and has lighter eyes and Nancy has darker hair and eyes, to me they sort of look alike. They have the same smile I think! :

Once Nancy appeared on "TV Bloopers & Practical Jokes" to help play a trick on her brother. I think it involved getting him out of his pants. As she helped with this trick, she was the only of the FoL girls not to be a victim of a practical joke herself during that series run.

I always thought they look a lot alike. Just one is blonde and one is brunette, but the facial features are very similar, especially the smile like you said, bonnie.
