Kim Richards – Now

In 2010, Kim once again entered the spotlight when she joined the hit reality TV show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills with her sister Kyle. However, shortly after Kim started appearing in the series, rumors of a possible alcohol and drug problem started to spread, partly due to the erratic behavior she showed on camera. She has been in rehab a few times and has claimed sobriety, but in 2015, she was arrested for public intoxication, trespassing, battery on an officer, and resisting an officer at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The series immediately let her go, but Kim returns every now and then as a guest star.

Mindy Cohn – Then

Many remember Mindy Cohn playing the irrepressible student Natalie on the television show Facts of Life between 1979 and 1988. Sincere but sarcastic, her character Natalie was an essential part of the success of the show. In a way, the role became a curse to Cohn because she was typecast as a “nice girl.” Afterwards, it became hard for her to land more substantial roles on television.
