The Facts of Life was a successful spinoff of Diff’rent Strokes. It moved the setting into an all-girls boarding school. The main cast included Kim Fields, Mindy Cohn, Lisa Whelchel, and Nancy McKeon. Their characters were different but somehow managed to become a found family of friends. It presented a true and relatable picture of what female friendships were like.
Many Norman Lear sitcoms, such as All in the Family, had successful reboots or live shows before his death. The world was clamoring for more of his successful shows. He was surprised how much they wanted more Facts of Life.
The cast talked to him about the possibility of a revival. They’d never considered it but thought it had a chance. That was until one cast member who they called a “greedy b*tch” spoiled it all. Mindy Cohen said she went behind their back for a more lucrative deal with a show focused more on her. No one knows who this co-star is. All Mindy said was to look on her Instagram for clues.
Theories about what she meant are all around. Was it Kim? She hasn’t been seen online with Mindy recently. Was it Lisa? Surely someone who played a mean character could be capable of ruining a revival.
Whatever the truth is, it seems that someone in this found family isn’t playing fair. It won’t ruin the great times everyone had on set and watching on their TV. Still, Mindy insists revival plans are “totally dead.”
