Anyone else notice Mrs. Downs? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Did anyone notice that Mrs. Downs, the singing/acting teacher in the Green-eyed Monster episode is the same lady who worked at Harrisons department store on the Shopliting episode? Just thought I'd share that.

I didn't notice that. Actually I didn't see the one ep (the non-shoplifting one) I will have to see it.

There are several actors who played more than one role during the Facts of Life's 9-season run... can you name them?
(scroll down for answers) Note: this includes voice-only actors.

ANSWERS: Lois Nettleton played Frank's wife Noreen, and was also the radio voice of the sex therapist when Rudy and Tootie are in the backseat of his car.... Bill Dana was the manager of the hotel where Eddie & Jo ran off in Season 2, and was also a patron in Edna's Edibles in Season 6 when Blair was running the shop. He kept ordering the bottomless cup of coffee... Todd Hollowell played Zach in season 3 and Jeff in seasons 5-9; the woman who played Mrs Brewster in the book-banning episode from season 3 was the same actress who played the woman who was booking the banquet room for Blair and Geri's fundraiser.

There are some more,but I will let some of you name them before I post them tomorrow.

Good luck!

Here's another one: Thomas Byrd played the ******** delivery guy in Season 4 and also played Blair's cocaine-addicted boyfriend in Season 6.

Let's not forget that the same actress who played Tootie's drama teacher for her 'South Pacific' debut (and would throw Nathalie off the stage after her attempted sabotage) soon returned to play Nathalie's mother from that point on!

Sorry, but Miss Downs was played by Hazel Shermet, and Natalie's mother was played by Mitzi Hoag. Only one actress played the role of Evie Green, Natalie's adoptive mother...
