Mindy Cohn (born May 20, 1966 in Los Angeles, California) is an American actress best known for her role as Natalie Green on the TV show The Facts of Life. She currently resides in Beverly Hills.
Cohn was discovered by actress Charlotte Rae when Rae and other producers of The Facts of Life visited Westlake School in North Hollywood, California while doing research for the show. She was cast in the role of Natalie and portrayed the character for the entire run of the series, from 1979 to 1988, as well in the reunion movie of 2001. The impact of her work on The Facts of Life was honored when she was ranked 43 on VH1's List of 100 Greatest Kids Stars.
Cohn has continued with her acting career outside of The Facts of Life. In 2003 she was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for her work on the TV show What's New Scooby Doo?. She also received a positive notice from Variety in her role in the 2007 Daniel Waters directed comedy film Sex and Death 101.
Cohn said that one of the reasons she did The Facts of Life Reunion film in 2001 was because the actors in the long-running series have been wrongly denied a cut of the syndication and DVD profits from the series. "We all never got paid and still don't get paid for DVDs and reruns ... we felt we were owed."
In addition to her acting career, she has earned a degree in cultural anthropology from Loyola Marymount University and is a founding member of the weSpark cancer support center.
