This ’80s Teen Star Left Hollywood for a While and Moved to a Farm to Battle Cancer — Her Photos at 58

Mindy Cohn never planned to be an actress, but fate had other ideas. Now 58, she has faced major challenges and emerged stronger than ever.

A Star by Chance

Best known as Natalie Green on The Facts of Life (1979–1988), Cohn was discovered in high school. “Have I said anything at all about performing, or wanting to be an actress? No, sir,” she once wrote. She dreamed of being a doctor, but Charlotte Rae saw her “irresistible, charming, and hilarious” and pushed for her casting. This led to a successful career, including voicing Velma in What’s New, Scooby-Doo? for over a decade.

Battling Cancer

In 2012, Cohn was diagnosed with breast cancer. “It was breast cancer,” she revealed. “I kept that secret for a long time.” She endured a double mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation. Seeking peace, she moved to a farm with close friends. By 2017, she was cancer-free and ready to return. “I’m feeling great. […] And I’m so ready to get back to working.”

A Fresh Start

Cohn rejoined Hollywood with renewed passion. Though unmarried and childless, she cherishes strong friendships. “I’m far from alone,” she shared. She embraces aging confidently, humorously singing Let It Go to resist cosmetic procedures.

Thriving Despite Adversity

Currently starring in Palm Royale on Apple TV+, Cohn remains active. When wildfires forced her to evacuate, she stayed positive. “Safe and grateful,” she shared. Through every trial, she moves forward with resilience, humor, and gratitude—proving reinvention is always possible.
