You might not remember Geri Jewell’s name, but if you watched the TV show “The Facts of Life” you may remember that she played Geri Tyler, Blair’s cousin. The thing that is different about Geri is that she has cerebral palsy. She was the first person with a disability to have a regular role on a prime time television series. She also had a recurring role in the HBO Series “Deadwood.”

When she is not acting, she is a motivational speaker and trainer and has been sought after by many large companies. She is co-staring in a new independent film, “Night of the White Pants” which will be released in 2007.

She is truly an amazing woman!
