Lisa Whelchel: Then
When Lisa Whelchel first strutted onto the set at just 14 years old, she played Blair Warner, who was a preppy, wealthy, and pretty rebellious teen. As the series progressed though, Lisa slowly transitioned from a temperamental teenager into a beautiful and graceful young woman.

While Lisa first joined the show, she portrayed the role of a spoilt and often bratty teenager perfectly. Still, over the course of the sitcom, her character really blossomed and matured, and you could see the shift in direction from as early as Season 2.
