Most successful of the Eastland girls currently. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

How would you rank the post Facts of Life Eastland success of girls as they stand currently and the recent past.

My rankings.

1. Molly: Even after a career slump from the mid 90s to mid 2000s, Ms. Ringwald has made quite a comeback. She has played the mother of the lead characters on both the Secret Life of American Teenager and Riverdale. Plus she is also in the Kissing Booth movie series and did a Super Bowl commercial this past year.

2. Kim: Kim just announced doing a new series with Wanda Sykes just days before the pandemic hit. She also did that sort of reunion Christmas movie last year with the Core Four, though they didn't play their Facts of Life characters. Kim also does a podcast. Also appeared on Dancing with the Stars in 2016.

3. Lisa: Been the host for "Collector's Call" the last 3 season and has continued her life coach business.

4. Mindy: Does Podcasts during the pandemic and also had a role in a movie whose name I forgot.

5. Nancy M. Personal family matters kept her out of the limelight lately. Rumor has it that she moved from her ranch in Texas to back in LA. Did Dancing With the Stars in 2018.

Oddly enough, some of the FOL folks fired after one season ended up the most successful people in Hollywood, with Clooney, Pamela Adlon, and Molly Ringwald being worth multi-millions.

Of the Eastland girls, not only is Molly an '80s film icon, she continues to do film and television work. She's got three films scheduled to be released next year. Her worldwide box office as a leading lady is $183 million.

You can add the actress that played Boots St. Clair to on that list. They should have featured her more often on the show.

I totally agree with 80s: BOOTSIE should have been featured more, and i go further in saying, that i would gladly have added her to the 'Core of 4' (or at least living under the same roof as them).

On the other hand, i would have gladly removed ANDY: he was never needed, he had a lousy sense of humour and he was a mediocre actor lol!
