Mindy Cohn's Diarynew

While playing plus-sized Natalie on "The Facts of Life," Cohn was, in short, an insightful, ebullient everywoman who was there for, well, every other woman on the show.

Rug Burnnew

For a quarter-century and counting, ex-high school teacher Ron Jeremy -- Guinness World Record holder for most adult-film appearances -- has lent his wit and wiener to scores of cinematic gems.
