TooTIE QUESTIONS "RESPONSIBLE" DRINKING
"THE FACTS OF LIFE" -- FEB. 9
The girls learn a frightening lesson about drinking and driving when they join
Tootie's (Kim Fields) college-aged brother and his roommate for a "big night on the
town" that unexpectedly turns into a potentially deadly nightmare, on lIThe Facts
of Life," scheduled for broadcast Wednesdav, Feb. 9 (9:00-9:30 PM, PT) on the NBC
Television Network.
The sharp increase in occurences of drinking and driving among young people,
in particular, has presented problems on many levels. As the number one killer of
young people, law enforcement authorities are concerned about the rise in "driving
under the influence" arrests and the proper rehabilitation of those convicted.
Legislators are confronted with having to re-examine current laws as they pertain
to the legal age for the purchase of alcoholic beverages by young people.
And
trusting friends of those people who have been arrested are, oftentimes, faced with
how to most effectively help their friends with their problem, a delicate and
sensitive position that Tootie is unprepared for, but finds herself caught up in,
nonetheless.
Those responsible for this episode of "The Facts of Life" include series stars
Charlotte Rae, Lisa Whelchel, Kim Fields, Mindy Cohn and Nancy McKeon; guest
stars Kevin Sullivan and Michael Harrington; executive producers Jerry Mayer and
Jack Elinson; producers Linda Marsh &. Margie Peters; director Asaad Kelada; and
script writer Jerry Mayer.
"The Facts of Life" is an Embassy Television production.
