If you could cast for a FOL movie... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Who would you choose for a new FOL? I have a few choices but a few are uncastable in my opinion because the originals were so unique. Enjoy!

Blair: Michelle Williams (Dawson's Creek)
Jo: Jackie from That 70's Show
Tootie: (it would have to be an unknown because I can't think of anyone in particular.)
Natalie: (who could do her justice?)

Mrs Garrett: Bette Midler? (I dunno, this is the toughest to recast!)

Kim, Lisa, Mindy and Nancy were a once in a lifetime ensemble that would be next to impossible to recreate but it is fun to try. Let me know your ideas and we will compare!

Ok, here's mine...but it's a little younger cast:
Blair- Amanda Bynes (The Amanda Show, she could do some of the comedic moments Blair has)
Jo- Me of course!! (Hey, can't I be a little selfish!)
Nat- Cara DeLezia (the original girl from the kids show "So Weird")
Tootie- Raven-Symone
Mrs.G- Patricia Quinn (of Rocky Horror fame...but she'd have to drop the accent)

I would cast
Blair- Portia the Model.
Tootie- the girl from the Cosby show. (Rudy)
Jo- Kelly WigglesWorth from Survivor.
Natalie- the girl from All that. I'm not sure of her name.
Miss Garret - Liz Curtis Higgins

Were you thinking of Lori Beth Denver, from the original All That? The one that played the librarian that always said,"Quiet, no talking in the library!"

(Vernon) What was that ruckus?
(Andrew) Uh, what ruckus?
(Vernon) I was just in my office and I heard a ruckus.
(Brian) Could you describe the ruckus, sir?

DAMN! that is a hard one!

I wouldn't know what to do ,but I like all your suggestions!

Keisha Knight Pulliam (Rudy from Cosby Show) would be a good choice indeed!...for tootie

I don't know if it's just me, but to me, nobody could portray The Facts of Life girls better than the original cast. It just wouldn't be the same.

Good choices, but most of the people you guys are thinking of are too old- in their twenties and thirties. If you're talking about making a film in the middle of one of the seasons, you'd have to think of the younger generation.

That'd be hard, seeing as child stars are barely noticed.
