Famous Guests
So many of the guest stars from The Facts of Life went on to become big stars. Molly Ringwald is one example, but another may shock or excite you. George Clooney had a recurring guest spot before he made it big, playing a handyman. He appeared in a whopping 17 episodes during the later seasons.
Clooney was in good company with the other soon-to-be stars who made appearances throughout the show. Mayim Bialik, Seth Green, David Spade, Helen Hunt, and Paul Feig all made appearances; some even came close to getting their own spinoff series! This teaches us to pay attention to every actor on a show because you never know who might be the next big thing!
