Kim Fields – Then
Kim Fields co-starred in the sitcom “Baby, I’m Back” before her most famous role as Dorothy “Tootie” Ramsey, which lasted only 13 chapters. It wasn’t even shown on television until 1980. Mrs. Butterworth’s advertisement and two episodes of the Good Times also featured Fields. Fields appeared in The Facts of Life from 1979 to 1988. The producers put her on roller skates to avoid harsh camera angles because she’s so small.
