Mindy Cohn Blasts 'Greedy B***h' Co-Star For Sabotaging 'Facts Of Life' Revival
HuffPost
The actor's claim immediately set off a flurry of speculation among fans of the classic sitcom.
Mindy Cohn says plans for a revival of “The Facts of Life” have officially been scrapped due to some unforeseen “drama” with a former co-star.
Appearing on SiriusXM’s “Jeff Lewis Live” this week, Cohn said talks about a revival of the beloved sitcom ramped up in the wake of the 2021 ABC special “Live in Front of a Studio Audience,” which featured an all-star re-creation of a classic episode.
The success of that special, Cohn explained, sparked the interest of producer Norman Lear, who quickly got in touch with her and her surviving cast mates Kim Fields, Nancy McKeon and Lisa Whelchel. (Lear died in December.)
“We got into talks and we hired a writer, and the four of us got together on Zoom,” she said. “This was during COVID, and we had meetings with Norman about it.”
Those discussions fell apart, however, after one of the actors allegedly attempted to seek out a different opportunity that would’ve involved her character from the series, which ran from 1979 to 1988.
