Lisa Whelchel

Lisa Whelchel first made waves when she was chosen to be a Mouseketeer on The New Mickey Mouse Club. Gates of stardom opened for her when she played the rich Blair Wagner in the 1970 series, The Facts of Life, which aired for nine years. She got married to Steve Cauble in 1988 and welcomed three kids together. It seems like the ’80s were her heydays, and though the beloved celebrity has tied the knot, her Hollywood streak is far from over. In 1984, Lisa released a gospel music album called All Because of You, which was nominated in 1985 for a Grammy Award for Best Inspirational Performance. She began writing her first book, Creative Correction, and was released in 2000. Following its success, the star wrote a dozen more about motherhood and child discipline.

She reprised her role as Blair Wagner in the 2001 made-for-television movie, The Wonderful World of Disney: The Facts of Life Reunion. Lisa took part in Season 25 of Survivor: Philippines by CBS, where she placed second and won the “Player of the Season” Sprint as awarded by the show’s fans. Aside from her acting career, the woman is also an international speaker. Lisa’s daughter, Clancy Cauble, is now set to follow in her mother’s footsteps after finishing her college degree.
