Best known for her role as Natalie Green on the hit TV series The Facts of Life, she has often spoken about her close relationships with gay men and cites this as the reason for her strong support for the LGBT community.
“I’ve spent most of my life with gay men, and I love them dearly. I think they’re awesome,” Mindy Cohen said in the interview. “I don’t understand why people are so terrified of them. I mean, they’re just regular people.” Cohen also spoke about her views on marriage equality, saying, “Everyone should be able to get married if they want to,” she narrated.

Profession
Mindy Cohn was recruited by actress Charlotte Rae and the creators of The Facts of Life while researching the program at Westlake School in Holmby Hills, California.
She played Natalie Green throughout the nine-year series from 1979 to 1988, as well as in the film remake that premiered in 2001.
“Charlotte Rae claimed she was madly in love with me because I reminded her of her childhood best friend Natalie – and I was charming and funny. So she asked the producers to write a role for me on the show. To be honest, it sounded so amazing and I had no idea what to do.” Mindy Cohen has kept in touch with Charlotte Rae since the show ended.
When Mindy Cohn was unable to attend a reunion interview on The Facts of Life in 2016, two months before her acting mentor’s 90th birthday, she sent a video message to Charlotte Rae thanking her for teaching her the craft.
