THEN: Lisa Whelchel
Whelchel played Blair Warner, the spoiled rich girl everyone loved to hate ? and of course the most glamorous of the group. But as we found in later seasons, she had a lot of emotions bubbling underneath her "Daddy's girl" surface.
NOW: Lisa Whelchel
In 2000, Whelchel , a "group of moms who meet weekly in a home to encourage one another, learn from each other's challenges, and most of all, be refreshed through laughter." How sweet is that? Plus, she's been speaking at Women of Faith conferences on topics like family and friendship. And contrary to so many child star cases, she somehow still looks exactly the same ? even at age 52.
THEN: Kim Fields
Gossipy Dorothy, a.k.a. Tootie, made us all fall in love with rollerskates and pigtails. Fun fact: Kim Fields actually had to wear braces until 1985, so the ones she wore in earlier seasons were totally real.
NOW: Kim Fields
Now a mother-of-two, 46-year-old Fields has enjoyed a long career in acting, music, and directing. Talk about being multitalented, Tootie! Now if only she could say her "We're in trou-blllle!" catchphrase one last time, we'd be so happy.
THEN: Mindy Cohn
Before today's "love your body" movement, the '80s had Natalie Green, whose self-love on TV was an inspiration to a generation of teen girls. She perfectly summed up all our thoughts with this quote: "Who wants to be a skinny pencil? I'd rather be a happy Magic Marker!"
NOW: Mindy Cohn
Now 49, Cohn's now rocking some . If you're wondering why you haven't seen her on the small screen for a while, it's because she's doing work behind-the-scenes. Since 2002, Cohn has voiced Velma Dinkley for the Scooby Doo franchise.
THEN: Nancy McKeon
She didn't show up until the second season, but Joanna "Jo" Bonner was immediately an audience favorite. With her motorcycle and bad girl antics, she brought drama (and excitement) to the group. McKeon's role as Jo got her some serious attention ? while the show was airing, she and her devout Catholic family were granted a visit with Pope John Paul II.
NOW: Nancy McKeon
Since The Facts of Life, McKeon, now 49, has appeared in shows like Without a Trace and Sonny With a Chance, as well as several made-for-TV movies. We have to admit: Even though we loved Jo, this haircut is so much better than her .
THEN: Charlotte Rae
Let's be honest: When you were a kid and fought with your parents, you secretly wished you could go live with Mrs. Garrett, right? Warm and kind, she was just the type of housemother the girls all needed, season after season.
NOW: Charlotte Rae
Though she's now 89 years old, Rae still has the same voluminous hair and heartwarming smile as she did in the '80s. And she's got plenty to smile about ? she had a remarkable six decade career in Hollywood and is still appearing in shows like Girl Meets World and movies including Ricki and the Flash. No wonder she's such a role model!
THEN: George Clooney
This handsome fellow , but his role as friendly (and hunky) neighbor George Burnett on The Facts of Life helped kickstart his career in 1985.
NOW: George Clooney
We all know what this classic crush is up to these days: still breaking hearts and taking names. (And persuading other guys to .)

Shocker: Blair looks pretty much the same.
