On FOL Molly Ringwald portrayed Molly Parker.

But what if those defining lines became grayed? What if those two universes of real life and Eastland fiction intermingled?

Or, what if Molly Parker had continued her run at Eastland on camera?

It's really fun that one of our "Facts" girls went on to Hollywood stardom, because there's lots of material out there that we can use for fan mock-ups, bringing Eastland into the real world!

Ahaha! That's great, '80s!

Molly (Ringwald) was such a big part of the 1980s, as was The Facts of Life: the longest-running sitcom of the 1980s, which, for a while, co-starred the biggest teenager of the 1980s. It's odd to think that when Molly Parker's role dwindled, Molly Ringwald's career would ascend to heights we can never imagine.

It's a shame we didn't see her on FOL after The New Girl (outside of hopping into a DeLorean), but her film career in the 1980s was unparalleled.

Yup...and the 1980s was sure full of FOL and Molly!

And here's Molly's CD she released, with a bit of doctoring---one which Retro may not purchase, but it was still fun to mock up, lol:

Those are great, '80s! I like all of them, but that last one is just perfect!

Thanks, some of these are tricky to try and tailor, but I couldn't believe it when I discovered that for that "Cinema" ad, all the font was was simply Times New Roman italicized! That made that one really fun to doctor up! lol

And it worked out very well!
