When I was watching my tape of Facts of Life Goes to Paris, The opening credits show a man named Frank Bonner. Is that where they got Ricks name? Cause Rick wasnt in it then....

LOL. I noticed that too! I'm like "Bonner! Hmmmm... Perhaps related?" lol. That might be where they got the name. (Hey everyone, It's Rick's Long lost French Half Brother)

Frank Bonner played Herb on WKRP in Cinnicinati. That is his name. He is playing GK in Facts of LIfe goes to Paris. Hope this helps.

Yeah, and if I'm not mistaken, that was Kim Fields mom who played his boss.

You are right. Kim Fields' mom did play his boss. I checked the credits at the end because I was pretty sure it was her. Funny how she played this person in Paris, and later shows up as Tootie's mom. I wonder if any other of the Facts cast had their families on the show?

Ahhh!! I was wondering if that was Kim Fields' mother. I didn't think they would have her play two separate parts in two different episodes... they almost fooled me!!

Tootie: Muffy? Her name is Muffy? What kind of person is named Muffy?

Jo: Beats me, Tootie.
