Molly Ringwald – Then
After the first season of The Facts of Life, Molly Ringwald’s character, Molly Parker, was cut from the show. This was due to a change in direction for the series that resulted in over four characters being cut.
She played the role from 1979 to 1980 and was pretty annoyed about being cut. We don’t want to spoil the surprise, but Molly did very well for herself after being cut from the show.
