	Actors - Lisa Whelchel

Lisa Whelchel (born on May 29, 1963 in Littlefield, Texas, raised for most of her childhood in Fort Worth, Texas), is an American actress best known for her role in the television series The Facts of Life as the preppy and wealthy "Blair Warner." Whelchel was also at one time a Mouseketeer. Though she has had other roles, her acting career effectively ended after The Facts of Life went off the air.

Since then Whelchel has devoted her life to pursuit of the teachings of the Christian religion. She writes books of anecdotes and advice that provide guidance on various topics in what she feels should be handled in a manner appropriate to the teachings of Jesus. These include topics such as child rearing and motherhood. She is also a staunch advocate of homeschooling.

A storyline from The Facts of Life would have had her character be the first among the four young women to lose her virginity. She refused the part owing to her religious beliefs, and it was rewritten for the character of Natalie.

In 1984, Whelchel released a Christian pop album entitled All Because of You. While the album was a modest success (#17 on the Billboard Contemporary Christian charts) and received a Grammy nomination for Best Inspirational Album, Whelchel did not record a follow-up. Among the songs featured on the album were "Just Obey," "Cover Me Lord," and "Good Girl" ("Why be a good girl? Be a good girl!")

Controversy

Whelchel was involved in a controversy in 2004 when she discussed pouring drops of hot sauce on her children's tongues as a means of discipline for offenses such as lying, using language she considers inappropriate, or biting. Whelchel was quoted in the media as saying that she considers 'hot saucing' an effective punishment, and that discipline involves setting limits, which will result in pain when the limits are crossed.

Family

Whelchel married Steven Cauble, an associate pastor, on July 9, 1988. They have three children, Clancy, Haven and Tucker.
