Nancy McKeon
Following "The Facts of Life," McKeon was courted by NBC executives for the title role in the TV sitcom adaptation of the 1988 film "Working Girl"; the role, played by Melanie Griffith in the movie, instead went to then unknown Sandra Bullock for the TV series. In 1994, both McKeon and Courteney Cox auditioned for the role of Monica Geller on "Friends." The role went to the latter. When asked in interviews about the auditions, McKeon said, "I have no hard feelings. The role went to the right person. Courteney was brilliant. Now, I can't see anybody playing the role, not even myself." In 1995, she starred in her own series, "Can't Hurry Love," which lasted one season. 
In 1998, she starred in a sitcom with Jean Smart titled "Style & Substance." McKeon portrayed Inspector Jinny Exstead on the Lifetime police drama "The Division" from 2001 to 2004, with her pregnancy incorporated into the storyline of the last year of the series. From 2009 to 2010, McKeon appeared in a recurring role in the Disney Channel Original Series "Sonny with a Chance," as Connie Munroe, the mother of Demi Lovato's title character.
