The Facts of Life-"where are they now?"

[DrmnOfHeaven74]

put the show back on the air!

[ClGARETTEZ]

Whores

[Jefgg]

I just saw Nancy McKeon in a tv movie. She is still gorgeous.

[CelesteK]

Mindy ended up on an episode of TLC's What Not To Wear this year.

[a2r1v1i2s]

facts of life, lol, remember chris farley as mindy cohen on SNL. OMG he looked just like her RIP FARLEY!

[littleaprilroses]

Wow, Jo got SEXY! o_O

[DaveWollenberg]

What 'bout Julie Piekarski, Julie Ann Haddock, Felice Schachter, and, of course, Molly Ringwald. You need a sequel for the updates on these 4.

[jannyrcobs]

@DaveWollenberg That's what I was thinking.  As I've often said, it became another show starting with the second season. That probably happened at least twice more before it was cancelled. It's difficult to think of The Facts Of Life as simply one long-running show.

[CamronJo]

Over 100,000 views...Thanks Everybody!!! I am so glad to see all the Facts of Life fans out there :)

[saggitda]

FACTS OF LIFE WAS ONE OF THE BEST SITCOMS I GREW UP WITH.....ALL THE GIRLS WERE AWESOME BUT I WAS MORE LIKE JO WHEN I WAS THAT AGE WHICH IS WHY SHE  WAS MY FAV......

[frogsoda]

I was never what you would call a big fan of the show (I'm a guy) but I always had a crush on "Jo" Nancy McKeon.

She was cute back then. She is STUNNING now.

[daycutie789]

what is this song called? i LOVE it!!

[CamronJo]

@daycutie789 It is called wheel of the world by carrie underwood :)

[mx94racer]

I like the episode where Jo and Blair finally kicked it.

[Transam4000]

Yeah but she looks really bad though Charlotte Rae she does.........but I always liked joe Nancy Mckeon she was a kick ass kinda girl in the begginning then she started to like lisa Whelchel's character which was cool

[buffytheslayr]

Nice job!

[KittiesJason]

even as a kid growing up watching this, I had (no) problem realizing the incredible resemblance between Nancy McKeon and John Travolta! she's a dead ringer for a female version of him if ever I've seen! they are literally twins, from their stunning beautiful eyes to the dents in their chins! it's just chilling...

[averypack13]

Dude, Nancy McKeon could pass for Courteney Cox's sister nowadays...she looks so mature and different.....beautiful.

[d33f4wl7]

@averypack13 Yeah, she turned out to be super hot!

[averypack13]

Dude, Nancy McKeon could pass for Courteney Cox's sister nowadays...she looks so mature and different.....

[elc1960]

Hard to believe that of all the "Facts of Life" girls, the only one we got to see naked was Molly Ringwald (the low budget erotic thriller "Malice" - sorry, I'm a pig). The other first season girls that didn't stick around were Julie Piekarski, Felice Schacter and Julie Ann Haddock. Also, Helen Hunt was in a few episodes as well.

[MBOYA22]

I was so convinced that I would grow up and marry Kim Fields lol.

[elc1960]

@MBOYA22 So did a lot of guys (LOL). Have you seen her over the last few years? She's stunning.

[V45Rider]

OMG! It's true that Nancy McKeon is absolutely unrecognizable in those "after" pics!

In fact, the very first pic they show of her when shes older, you'd swear it was actually Felice Schachter who played in the very first season of TFOL.Isn't that strange? And why don't they show the girls who were in that first season? That Julie Piekarski was SUCH a hottie!

[EveDonovan]

MINDY COHN IS AWESOME!! I LOVE AND MISS HER SOOOO MUCH!! 

[TheJohnlennongirl]

Thank you very much for posting this video! Facts of Life was my favorite show at that time. If anything, all of the gals aged with grace. However, after saying that I was shocked a bit to see Mindy Cohn looking not quite well. Has she been unwell that she has gained even more weight and it shows in her face somehow to me personally that she is not feeliing her best. My opinion only. I still think these ladies are lovely just the same. God bless them all.

[elc1960]

@TheJohnlennongirl These pics of Mindy Cohn are a few years old. She's not that heavy now. She's actually rather pretty. In fact, she's the most active on TV and in movies of all these girls.

[snooky396]

@elc1960 No, she isn't. Kim Fields is, but she works behind the scenes as a director in a lot of Tyler Perry shows.

[snooky396]

@TheJohnlennongirl They are not old yet! Sure they have gotten older, but you talk like they are Granny's. (Aged with grace?)

[Jesercat]

Jo was my FAVORITE!!!!!! <3

[dannyplouffe]

Did you guys know Charlotte Ray is Rachel's mom?

[supercreamysperm]

@dannyplouffe Charlotte Rae, Rachel Ray. You still think they're mother and daughter ?

[dannyplouffe]

I would've liked Mindy if she wasn't fat. RIP Mrs. Garrett.

[Kaffyboy]

@dannyplouffe God, how shallow are you?! Mindy Cohn was beautiful just the way she was!!

[elc1960]

@dannyplouffe Charlotte Rae is still very much alive.

[kljMN2]

Mrs. Garrett is the best!!

[OriginalMangereBoy71]

The 80"s had all the best TV show's goin on!!

[merciless41582]

Best looking fact of life girls in this order

now... blair tootie jo and natalie

then.... blair jo natalie tootie

[kenneyut]

@merciless41582

natalie does look bad now.......you are right that blair was the most attractive, jo and tootie were neck and neck, but as time progressed tootie beat jo...I always felt that tootie looked better than natilie......blair still looks good

[merciless41582]

Mindy Cohn really looks bad now

[iraqidolphin]

Hairspray stole Truddi. Lol.

[kljMN2]

I love Mrs. Garrett!! I hated when she left the show.... it wasn't the same without her...

[theiveslikeus]

god i had such a huge crush on JO, she actually looks better with age

[elc1960]

@theiveslikeus Nancy McKeon's older brothers are Philip and Doug (she's from an acting family). Philip played Tommy on "Alice", and Doug played the teenager with an attitude in "On Golden Pond". He also played boxer Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini in a made-for-TV biopic.

[deppcarter]

beside mindy cohn is johnny depp!!

[titaniclady1]

Nancy McKeon did this movie about Tracy Thurman, a woman who got brutalized by her boyfriend/father of her son (true story). Couldn't get the cops to respond to abuse complaints because they weren't married. Brutal scene where boyfriend confronts her in front of her house, slashes her face and stomps on her head as she's lyingh on the ground.

[1nevaeh2008]

@titaniclady1 i remember that movie... love that movie and also cry every time that part comes up.

[etelehs]

GREAT VIDEO

[bearnkilt]

EXCELLENT job!

[yepheth]

nice. From boarding school to retirement house.

[yepheth]

they're not changed so much except Tootie who already changed a lot through the series

[GreatAuntCayce]

When did Nancy McKeon dye her hair a darker shade of Brown?

[sj4]

great video

[lknights32]

what is the name/who is the artist of that song? it's gorgeous

[upxnxsmoke]

@lknights32

Carrie Underwood

[Rikeeboy]

Isnt one of the girls supposed to be gay? Which one is it???

[pinklisoff]

@Rikeeboy Jo

[naomi8992]

When will Nick @ Nite wake up and PUT THE SHOW BACK ON THE AIR !!!!! DAANG !!!!

[KassidyKatherine]

@naomi8992 I agree 10,000% We want our Facts of Life back

[morgan8757]

@naomi8992 I would like facts of life to come back also to nick at nite

[SusieYeah33]

I wish all countries of the worlds girls/women couldlookup to shows like this..we were lucky... most cultures of the world totally prohibit such innocent shows as evil! (girls dating, finding their own way in life...going to school.. learning about themselves etc) even today in 2009 such a show would be considered risque and banned. crazy huh? I loved it! we need more of this for young women.not today's misguided values all about looks and expensive purses and figgting over guys ew!

[KHRAZYIE1]

OMG NANCY McKEON IS BEAUTIFUL!! THEY ALL ARE TOUGH.

[BarneyFlart]

These girls shaped who you are today????

Sorry, that is soo lame it's unreal. They aren't real people. They are actors pretending to be people. Perhaps you should look around you to find inspiration.

[CamronJo]

i just have to say, people can find inspiration in many different areas. i don't find any source of inspiration to be lame.

[leonardbrooks]

@CamronJo I agree with you 100%.  You can draw inspiration from many diiferent sources.

[duhmasolL33T]

@BarneyFlart If music can inspire someone, so can some acting.

[cadevereaux]

So no one died?

[CamronJo]

not that i know of

[cadevereaux]

Well that's cool... I keep singing the theme song at school I think it's annoying people.

[nerdflanders8710]

@CamronJo yes the fat chick ate nancy mc keon

[paddyjoejr1]

Of Cause Not! Nancy Mckeon Is On Sonny With A Chance

[qwandiddy]

@cadevereaux Far as I know, Cloris Leachfield which the oldest on this show is still blessed alive at 84 years old at this point.

[SUSANBOYLE2XL]

@cadevereaux grow up

[rufusbaron]

I can't believe they're all dead now. Where did the time go?

[CamronJo]

dead? well, i have good news for you... they are still alive!

[Brenda1371]

FOL, these 4 women shaped who I am today. JO, NAT,TOOTIE AND BLAIR, anyone one of them left the show it just was not the same. I am still a major fan today all these years later and to think Kim fields is only a year older. Thanks ladys.

[AKMCGRATH]

I CAN TOTALLY RELATE to YOUR COMMENT ABOUT BEING SHAPED BY THESE GIRLS, THIS SHOW.

DID U KNOW BOTH NANCY & MINDY ARE GOING TO BE IN FILMS IN 2010?

OF COURSE, NANCY IS IN "SONNY WITH A CHANCE" ON OCCASION (like yests. ep 'HART TO HART' with jeff dunham) and MINDY HAS BEEN THE VOICE OF VELMA ON "SCOOBY DOO" FOR YEARS, BUT IT'S ALWAYS GREAT TO SEE THEM!

SO GLAD THEY ALL TURNED OUT FANTASTIC AND UNSCATHED-WE CHOSE GOOD ROLE MODELS. MRS. G WOULD BE PROUD!

JO *_*

[sinnerrose]

OMG Nancy is my idol!!! I have videos of her in sonny with a chance and a whole bunch of other videos about her, she is awesome!!!!

[sophiafrederick]

This what Susan Sontag meant when she defined camp.

[GNRandMJ4EVER]

wow, LIsa & Nancy still beautifuls!!! *---*

[tahuaroa]

what a flash back, thank you for posting. what song is this, its awesome

[jennmeto]

Lisa (blair) always had pretty feet. No big veins green or purple were on the top of her feet. Nice smooth skin.

[keleic]

how do u know this?

[daffodilindy]

I liked this show more than any of the sitcoms in the 80's. The Facts of Life, RULE!

[6151RichmondStreet]

Is it way too cheesy if I say this brought tears to my eyes?

[CamronJo]

Never!

[daffodilindy]

Of course not. I love this too.

[italobambino43]

I never thought I would reminiss about he 80's, yet, I guess with each passing decade teenagers who came of age in the 80's and 90's as I did, are now looking back, and on it goes! This show was quirky, yet, looking back at some of the stars, they all look great today and they are all productive members of society, I guess Mrs. Garett did a reat job !

[eviemoney]

wow they look so great

[snoops71]

LOVED "Facts of Life" growing up. I wrote them once, and got autographed pics in the mail.

[abbaspice1]

I love the show as a child, I STILL love it now!

Tootie and Natalie always made me laugh, Jo and Blair made me laugh and cry. Mrs. G hale it all together.

[Jaydon79]

Jo aka Nancy Mckeon is so pretty wow...

[Trance1972]

Lisa aged well... she's still a hottie

[aaliyahbr3]

she's so beautiful

[resless38]

tootie is so ghetto

[tall32guy]

Mindy Cohn was always so perky and photogenic! And she still is!!!! :)

[Fancy16]

nancy plays on sonny with a chance now :D demi lovato is sooo hawt :)

[fendora2002]

wow this was awsome.

[alex100holla]

thanks im going to download the song right now!

[alex100holla]

whats the name of this song? it is really nice..!

[CamronJo]

thanks! it's called wheel of the world by carrie underwood.

[aaliyahbr3]

was just gonna ask that love

[kefkaroth]

blair and jo were my 2 favs. maybe because of their rivalry but they were 2 seperate chars i loved. blair being all the pretty and conceited one while jo pretty in her own right also was the spunky fireball with somewhat of a tough nature. god i miss the 70s and 80s. :(

[830615521]

Same here I loved the FOL because of Blair and Jo.

[XcentrickSalo]

the only thing preventing jo from being hotter then to now was that... mullet she had.... i dont care what the style was, a crime is a crime!... blair was a hot piece but kinda lost it when FOL went all big hair on us

[aqstoy]

i HAD A HUGE CRUSH WITH NANCY!!

[maggiescanyon]

Jo was so hot

[Retrochic74]

Wow.. I just happened to stumble upon this video... very nicely done and the song for this was PERFECT!!

[sexysmileslimbody34]

they all look so great 4 their age and im glad they have reunions!!!

[regcart]

WOW A very nice song, I love the tribute to Mrs G. & The Girls!!!!!!!!!! LOVELY!

[BobsWorld666]

I want to go to the next Facts of Life reunion. This is a very cute video. thanks for posting. BTW--I think Jo is even prettier now than she was then.

[jwilliams22407]

Jo was always pretty 2 me

[ThePaddyjoejr1]

@jwilliams22407 FYI: Jo Plays Demi Lovato's Mother on Sonny with A Chance.

[tylerdurden1971]

@jwilliams22407 Agreed,I Loved Her

[SECgatorFAN]

Girls...GIRLS...GIRRRLLLZZZZ!!­! This was a classic show from the 80's no matter what anyone wants to say. I'm a 31 y/o male who grew up with this, and I'll still catch every now and then whenever I see it on the boob tube. Check out the Mad TV parody though. Its great!

[VeggieChick77]

Jo will always be my favorite. I wasn't around when this show was on, but I really love how Nancy McKeon brought the character to life. She was gorgeous back then and she's even more beautiful now.. but she doesn't look the same without that brown ponytail or mullet. <3

[broadbent48]

Agreed.

[Roujin120]

Nancy had lost a great deal of weight during The Division series, so she was a little leaner. Your face is always the first sign that something is different. She hasn't changed much as Kim. Kim was alot darker on FOL than she was on Living Single.

[bjackgreen]

Not really! Nancy is still the same size in the division as she was during 1983 or 84!

[smallpup1]

great video. Jo was such great!

[tunnelrat1900]

Wheel Of The World - Carrie Underwood.

[sacchiotto]

Amizing! Please... The name of the song...

[Pug40]

There are few characters that have touched my heart very deeply. Alex(Michael J Fox) and Mallory(Justine Bateman)from Family Ties are a couple, but Jo(Nancy McKeon)is the one character I will never, ever forget. Nancy brought life to this character that no one else ever can, could or would. Thank you Nancy for doing what you do. God smiles on you.

[Brenda1371]

to me its not Mckeon that looks unrecognizable, but Kim Fields/Tootie.

[CelesteK]

I'm happy that none of the Facts of Life girls have turned out as fucked up as the kids on other TV shows.

[emerytownblues]

Grew up watching this and Diff'rent Strokes. Glad to see that all the "girls" from TFOL turned out to be accomplished women.

[lavendercalendar]

So cool! THANK YOU for producing this!

[2cute2pollute]

jo is almost unrecognizable!

[monkeefan75]

Very great tribute to this wonderful show!

[djshorty73]

great tv show

[anumbus]

Charlotte Rae is very much alive. She is 82 and still acting. She was in 'Don't Mess With The Zohan' with Adam Sandler this year playing an older woman who has a fling with Sandler's character. She is not dead.

[Akihikio]

This was a great video! I absolutely loved this show. I think it pushed on a lot of issues that at the time weren't widely discussed. I watched these girls grow into women in my living room while I grew myself. I love these ladies. <3

[katewinslet1912]

Love you guys. Thanks for the memories, you guys are brilliant

Karina

[melaniestevens]

Kim Fields looks happy and is a doll!

Lisa Welchel is gorgeous

And I always thought that Nancy McKeon was the best actress

[melaniestevens]

google dead or alive and put in her name. Charlotte Rae is 82! :)

[caspol69]

Charlotte Rae is ALIVE!

[smush48]

and yes:charlotte rae did pass on..i think somewhere in mid june....i saw it on tv..

[smush48]

good job,camronjoe....i think in our generation weve all grown up with Ms Garrett and the "kids"..dont forget arnold,willis and kimberly......

[bradley825]

Lisa Whelchel Cauble has a beautiful family. Thanks for the tribute.

[Perry7360]

Just to let everyone know, Charlotte Rae did not Pass away. I don't know why people have to post things like they do.

[Perry7360]

Is it true about Charlotte rae? I tried to find out about her, but I find nothing as far as her dying. I'm sure it would have been on line or in a paper. I hope she is still around.

[Perry7360]

It is very sad to hear about Charlotte rae passing away. I will be thinking about this the rest of the day. I will remember june12th

for a long time. This is one show that I loved to watch. Wish I could have met them all. But Mindy is my favorite. Would love to meet her or be able to write to her.

[Perry7360]

It's sad that Charlotte passed away. I loved this show. I wish I could have met each one. I would really love to meet Mindy In person. Mindy is a real sweetheart. Wish I could have a nice chat with Mindy. Mindy is Beautiful.

[Jackthemeat]

Im sorry to announce that Charlotte Rae, Mrs. Garret passed away today June 12 2008 of Rectal cancer. she shall be missed. RIP

[bbalser77]

real funny jackoff

[iluvgilmoregirls2014]

love this song love this song i loved all the characters but jo was my fav

[aznsketcher]

wow. very nice tribute vid. brings me back to the "good ol' times!"...hahaha

[moomoo0508]

Loved this show! Natalie was my favorite.

[Arkthurius]

I loved that show, it was great, I liked more Lisa than Nancy. =) I guess I like conservative women.

[ucstudent21]

wow they are all so beautiful! i loved them in the REUNION movie in 2001!

[septjoy]

Thank you :) nice shots and great song

And I agree with Ethelryan lol love Nancy

[Ethelryan]

Thanks, That was a really nice video. ( I like how you put Nancy last, saving the best!)

[fifagirlfs]

WOW they changed so much!!!

[orangie84]

They did but they seemed to get more beautiful as they grew!

I wish they would do one more series season together.

Like one for the road as they are now.

You know somehow they all wind up together one more time.. Would be interesting.
