Mindy Cohn – Then
Mindy Cohn became Natalie Green, one of Edna Garrett’s students, for The Facts of Life in 1979. Cohn appeared in every episode of the television show until 1988. Natalie’s role was quite progressive, breaking a number of barriers that would normally be considered taboo, such as physical appearance, relationship issues, and adoption. While Natalie Green was widely acknowledged for her personality, she was comfortable with a stable image of herself, trying to say, “Who wants to be a skinny pencil? I’d rather be a happy marker of magic!”
