Clooney's Early Pranks: Facts of Life Star Recalls Mischief

George Clooney's time on 'The Facts of Life' in the mid-1980s is recalled by co-star Lisa Whelchel. She characterized the young actor, then known simply as George, as sweet but also mischievous. While not pranking during filming, his tendency to get carried away meant he sometimes needed reminders to focus on work.

Clooney, who played handyman George Burnett, reunited virtually with cast members in 2016. He expressed particular gratitude towards Charlotte Rae, calling her an incredible force who made him feel at home. He shared a funny memory of Rae playfully using a banana on set, which caused much laughter.
