Kim Fields
George Clooney isn't the only actor who used The Facts of Life as a springboard. Kim Fields, who you know as Tootie, used the popular 80s sitcom as her training ground too--for Living Single, Real Housewives of Atlanta, Dancing with the Stars and more.
In this entertaining celebrity interview, Kim reflects on her TV roles, opens up about real-life highs and lows, and fangirls out on her personal favorite movies and TV shows.
