Geri Jewell’s touching speech at TV Land Awards

Did you watch last night’s TV Land Awards?
I did and really enjoyed them. The highlight for me was seeing the reunion of the cast of The Facts of Life and that newly out Geri Jewell, who played Blair’s cousin Geri on the show, was invited to accept the award along with Charlotte Rae, Lisa Welchel and Nancy McKeon (pictured with Geri) as well as Kim Fields, Mindy Cohn and Cloris Leachman.

Geri gave the best speech of anyone in the group saying.:“When I was a kid, I was made fun of a lot and ridiculed. And my escape was television. And I lived for television. And I wanted to be an actress, I wanted to be a comedienne. And they cast me in this wonderful show, Facts of Life, and it was the first time in my life that kids weren’t afraid of me when they saw me, but they wanted my autograph. And I am so proud to be a part of that.”
