Kim Richards – Now

When she joined Beverly Hills’ hit reality TV show The Real Housewives with her sister Kyle in 2010, Kim entered the spotlight again. However, rumors of possible alcohol and drug problems started spreading shortly after Kim began appearing in the series, partly due to her erratic behavior on camera. She was in rehab a few times, claiming sobriety, but was arrested at Beverly Hills Hotel in 2015 for public intoxication, trespassing, battery on an officer, and resisting an officer. The series immediately let her go, but Kim returns as a guest star.

Mindy Cohn – Then

Many remember that between 1979 and 1988, Mindy Cohn played the irrepressible student Natalie on the Facts of a Life television show. Her character Natalie, sincere but sarcastic, was an essential part of the show’s success. In a way, because she was typecast as a “nice girl,” the role became a curse for Cohn. It became difficult for her to land more significant roles on television afterward.
