Kim Fields co-starred in the sitcom “Baby, I’m Back” before her most renowned appearance as Dorothy “Tootie” Ramsey, which lasted barely 13 chapters. It wasn’t even seen on television until 1980. Mrs. Butterworth’s advertising and two episodes of the Good Times also included Fields. Fields starred in The Facts of Life from 1979 through 1988. The creators put her on roller skates to prevent harsh camera angles because she’s so small.
