Lisa Whelchel – The Facts of Life

Ask any active Hollywood celebrity, and they’ll tell you that balancing their daily lives can be challenging due to the hectic demands of their job. Yet, someone like Lisa Whelchel managed to find time not only for acting, but also for pursuits like writing, public speaking, and singing.

You might recognize her from “The New Mickey Mouse Club,” where she performed as a Mouseketeer as a child. She was also in “The Facts of Life,” where she played Blair Warner. Despite her other commitments, Whelchel still makes time for showbiz—she appeared in several episodes of “Collector’s Call” in 2020.

Rob Lowe – St. Elmo’s Fire

Teen movie idols were so popular in the ’80s that a term was coined for some of them. They were called the Brat Pack, and Rob Lowe was part of this group. Alongside other teenage stars like Demi Moore and Andrew McCarthy, he appeared in several movies, including “St. Elmo’s Fire,” one of the popular teen flicks of that era.

Lowe is now a seasoned actor with Primetime Emmy and Golden Globe nominations to his credit. He has spent much of his adult career playing leading roles in series. One of these is “9-1-1: Lone Star,” which he joined in 2020.
