Kim Fields (Dorothy “Tootie” Ramsey)
Playing Dorothy “Tootie” Ramsey, Fields made braces cool — and got into plenty of trouble with her penchant for gossip. The 48-year-old actress appeared on Fox’s Living Single and gave reality TV a try during season 8 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. She also competed on Dancing with the Stars. But her best role is as a mom to sons Sebastian, 10, and Quincy, 4, with husband Christopher Morgan.
Lisa Whelchel (Blair Warner)
Whelchel portrayed the preppy and snobby Blair Warner. She was nominated for a Grammy back in 1984 for her Christian music album. Now 54, she works as a motivational speaker. Whelchel came in second place on Survivor: Philippines in 2012 and has three children.
Nancy McKeon (Joanna Marie “Jo” Polniacze)
A season 2 addition, Joanna Marie “Jo” Polniaczek made an unforgettable entrance aboard a motorcycle and immediately clashed with Blair — but she became an irreplaceable part of the group. Disney Channel fans will recognize McKeon, 51, as Demi Lovato’s character’s mom on Sonny with a Chance. She has two daughters of her own with husband Marc Andrus.
George Clooney (George Burnett)
This handsome fellow got his start on Riptide on 1984, but his role as the friendly (and hunky) neighbor handyman, George Burnett, helped kickstart his career in 1985. We all know what this ‘silver fox’ is up to today. Marriage and twins are keeping him very busy…No wonder his hair has turned gray!
