In 1980, Geri Jewell was cast to play Lisa Welchel’s cousin on The Facts of Life. Now, 44 years later, the two actresses are still friends, so much so that they spent Friday together.
Blair Warner wrote this about their day together, “We aren’t technically family but since we played one on TV (Cousin Geri) and we’ve known each other for almost a half a century, it sure feels like it! So good to catch up with the funny and wise and deep and talented, Geri Jewell! ”
I always say that the shows that last in syndication are the ones where the casts get along. That is why we are still watching their sitcoms.
Now, let’s talk about how great they look. It is like no time has passed.
