WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!
by Danielle-282000-12-30

"I LOVE THE FACTS OF LIFE!!!!!!! It is my favorite show in the whole world! My favorite characters are Blair (Lisa Whelchel) and Jo (Nancy McKeon). I have almost every single episode taped, so that shows you how much I like it! If you are ever having problems, you can watch one of these episodes, and I always feel better right away, because the show covers real life problems that real teenagers would have...."

💡 Did You Know?

Actor Mindy Cohn did not audition for the show. However, the producers visited a girls' school to see how they interacted. She was a social magnet just being herself, and they created Natalie based on Cohn. She then tested in the role.
