About Kim Fields
Kim Fields Morgan is an American actress and director. She first gained fame as a child actress on the television series Good Times (1978–1979), and rose to greater prominence for her role as Dorothy "Tootie" Ramsey on the NBC sitcom Diff'rent Strokes (1979–1981), as well as its spin-off The Facts of Life (1979–1988). When the show began production, Fields was so short that the producers put her on roller skates during the first season so that they could avoid difficult camera angles. It marked the first time in six years (since The Facts of Life Reunion movie) that Fields and Whelchel had seen each other. In 2017, Fields played the role of Theresa Newman in the Christian film A Question of Faith, which featured Fields' first co-starring appearance in a feature film and premiered in theaters on September 29, 2017.
