The Facts Of Life was the original Sex & The City. Jo = Carrie, Blair = Samantha (albeit more … virginal), Natalie = Miranda, and Tootie = Charlotte. And Mrs. Garrett, of course, is Stanford Blanch.
Like the men on SATC, the men who came and went on The Facts of Life were always beside the point, as the heart of both shows was the friendship between the four ladies. Sure, the men were a good time, and most of the women were happily in relationships at the end of the show’s run, but the guys were superfluous, as evidenced by the number of guest stars over the nine season run.
Logo TV is currently running the 80’s classic, so let’s take a look at some of the hottest guys who entered (and in most cases, quickly left) the lives of Blair, Jo, Natalie, and Tootie. As you can see, one thing is certain about these men … the amount of softcore porn they went on to star in.
Prepare for feathered hair and tight jeans galore. Oh, and George Clooney is not #1.
