    About The Facts of Life: At the Eastland School in Peekskill, New York, Edna Garrett (Charlotte Rae) oversees the day-to-day lives of students who come from all walks of life. Under the care of this slightly nutty but always caring housemother is the beautiful, rich and spoiled Blair Warner (Lisa Whelchel); the witty, plump and impressionable Natalie Green (Mindy Cohn); Dorothy “Tootie” Ramsey (Kim Fields), the young and persistent campus gossip; and Joanna “Jo” Polniaczek (Nancy McKeon), a Bronx-born and bred streetwise kid whose tough exterior masks the brains and compassion she's hiding underneath. Whether it's the challenges posed by Eastland's academic and social scenes, the rise, fall and rebirth of the businesses they start and run together, or the comings and goings of new faces in school and town, including Edna's replacement (and sister) Beverly Ann Stickle (Cloris Leachman), the girls are always ready for a new challenge, and perceptive enough to learn from each new situation.

    I wanted to be a Nun from the time I was 4 years old. My favorite teachers at school were the Nuns. At 16 I feel in love with my best friends brother and changed my mind about becoming a Nun. I'm glad I did. My son will be 30 on Monday. He's the best thing that ever happened to me.

      @Night-Mayor Před měsícem +2

      @bostonblackie9503 Actually, both shows premiered August of 1979. Dorothy on CBS and The Facts of Life on NBC. However, Facts of Life had the inside track being a spin-off of the ultra popular Different Strokes at the time. Interesting fact the shows wouldn't have been similar if not for Dana Plato not wanting to leave Different Strokes and Charlotte Rae taking the leap. Making the lead focus the House Mother Mrs Garrett instead of Kimberly Drummond. A choice we can all agree was bad for Dana.
