Seems like Mindy Cohn was not only starring on the show The Facts of Life, she was getting the facts of life from her co-star George Clooney. Today, she posted the above photo and said, “…whenever i’m asked how I became such a great kisser… and dare i say my taste in men has only gotten better. #georgeclooney #justthefacts #tbt”
Now we know that not only is George Clooney easy on the eyes, he is also great on the lips. And if you think about it, this was very early in his career, which means he only got better.
When it comes to Cohn, now we know what they mean in the theme song when they sing, “You take the good.” Plus, she too was at the beginning of her kissing career, so think of all the lucky people who have kissed her since she has smooched Clooney!
TV has given several shows from the ’90s reboots and revivals and now there could be one from the ’70s which might be coming back to our televisions. Todd Bridges Tweeted, “We maybe doing a new one [Diff’rent Stokes] i will be Willis Drummond I will be adopting two kids of a different color giving them the same opportunity that we where we were giving and showing the world no matter what color you are love conquers all.” I think that is something we need to be watching. The original normalized so much, I would love to see what a new version of it could do.
They obviously did something right the first time because it still airs in syndication on several channels after almost 40 years. Only a handful of shows can say that.
Diff’rent Strokes would also have to be a reboot because sadly Bridges and Charlotte Rae are the only surviving members from the original season. Who knows maybe if they ask nicely, they can get Janet Jackson to reprise her role as his girlfriend. What else is the youngest Jackson doing?
Back in the ’70s and ’80s, Lisa Whlechel played the posh socialite Blair Warner on The Facts of Life. A character that was such a rich bitch, she would never let anyone know she was not the natural blonde that she claimed to be.
That was 40 years ago, today the actress does not care if you know her natural hair color. Not only that, she is not afraid to show you with a huge head of tin foil, playing a game of chess with her daughter. Proving not everyone plays a character like themselves, yet they are masterful at making us believe that they do.
When it comes to the photo of the Survivor, she is gorgeous no matter what. Tin foil wrap, frizzy hair and all. Don’t you agree?
Back in the late ’70s and the early ’80s, two of the biggest shows on television were Diff’rent Strokes and its spinoff The Facts of Life. Because of that you have to wonder if two of the shows’ stars, Kim Fields and Todd Bridges, did a crossover of their own when the cameras weren’t rolling?
Today for Willis’ 52nd birthday, Tootie came clean with the above 1980 cover from Right On and said, “WHHAA?!! SUPERFAN on my FB came THROUGH with this! Re the headline: never had a chance, was ALWAYS in #friendzone #lilsiszone.” I am like totally bummed because I was hoping that there was going to be trouble between them as they took the good, they took the bad, they took them both and there you have The Facts of Life! As much trouble as two kids of their age could get into. There would be no, whatcha talkin’ about Willis for them at just 14 and 11. Just some sweet, innocent kissing that we all tried when we were young. Diff’rent strokes came a little later.
OK! I will stop now because I am even annoying myself at this rate!
Before Charlotte Rae was making us laugh with her as Mrs Garrett on Diff’rent Strokes and The Facts of Life, she had us in hysterics on This Is Show Business. What a beauty she was back when she was just 28 in that 1954 episode.
