Mindy Cohn revealed one of her co-stars from The Facts of Life is a “greedy bitch” who did the rest of the ladies dirty. Along with Kim Fields, Lisa Welchel, and Nancy McKeon, Mindy starred in the hit ’80s sitcom that followed a group of teen girls in a New York boarding school. One of the cast members went behind the others’ backs and sabotaged a chance of a revival. Mindy broke the drama down on Jeff Lewis Live.
A ‘Facts of Life’ renewal:
After the positive reception the cast got from an ABC Live in Front of a Studio Audience special in December 2021, there was talk of reuniting the women to renew the sitcom. Mindy, who played Natalie, said she and her former cast mates/friends ”started to consider it.”
Things began moving … “A writer was hired. The four women had Zoom meetings during COVID to discuss the potential project.”
DOA:
Unfortunately for fans, Mindy said one of the other lead cast members threw a wrench in the revival. “One of the girls … went behind our backs and tried to make a separate deal for a spin-off just for herself and devastated the rest of us.”
“For a 40-year friendship and sisterhood, there was a title of emotion around it.” One of Jeff Lewis’s co-stars dubbing the unnamed actress a “greedy bitch” … and Natalie couldn’t agree more.
Mindy said her friends from the cast didn’t talk to the greedy co-star for a while, but now they do … a little bit. “A couple of people can’t move past it,” she explained. Considering, the cast was “united for 40 years over not talking about each other, not doing dirty, ‘all for one, one for all,’ and this kind of wrecked that, which is sad.'”
Easter eggs:
Instead of name dropping who “the greedy bitch” is, Mindy had her fans do some detective work. While she didn’t name names, she hinted that people could easily figure out who she’s not friends with based on their engagement on her Instagram page.

Blair:
NOTHING!
Blair is the “greedy bitch!” … She always was the uppity one. This seems to be an instance of life imitating art … Lisa Welchel sucks, just like her character, Blair.
Here’s a photo of Lisa with Norman Lear, the show’s creator (RIP), but she doesn’t have any photos with her Facts of Life cast mates.
