Mindy Cohn became a household name through her endearing portrayal of Natalie Green in the iconic ’80s sitcom The Facts of Life. However, her life journey hasn’t been without its challenges. In 2012, she faced a daunting battle with breast cancer, prompting her temporary departure from the spotlight. Despite this setback, she emerged victorious and cancer-free in 2017.

Now that she is fully back to her optimal health status, the 57-year-old is making a career resurgence. She is set to star in a comedy-drama miniseries, Palm Royale. Her latest appearance will mark the end of her four-decade hiatus since she was on the set of The Facts of Life.
