Kim Fields Net Worth & Biography
Kim Fields was born in New York in 1969. We are at the eighth of the civil rights struggle in the United States and the African American community openly challenges the stereotyped image of herself in American cinema and television. Actors like Steven Perry, Marc Copage, George Spell, Kevin Hooks, Erin Blunt, and then Todd Bridges and Gary Coleman are in the front row in this battle.
The situation was particularly difficult for the African-American girl, whose exclusive model was that of “Topsy”, the little slave girl in Uncle Tom’s Hut(1853), a character that beyond the good intentions of the abolitionist author Harriet Beecher Stowe had turned into a pitiful caricature, which the few actresses African-American girls of the past (from Dorothy Morrison to Jannie Hoskins and Hannah Washington ) had owed them despite adapting.
Kim Fields came to success with the sitcom The Facts Of Life (Italian for The Facts of Life ), which aired on NBC from 1979 to 1988. In this series plays the role of student Tootie Ramsey, a witty teen and a little gossipy. In the first series, she is forced to act on roller skates because she is not tall enough to guarantee the right angles in the shots; another of its main features is the device that leads to the teeth for all the episodes of the first five seasons.
In some episodes of the first seasons of the series, despite being less than 14 years of age, shows his early ability to act in difficult and dramatic situations: he runs into a pedophile photographer (ep .. 2×14, Pretty Babies ), meets a girl- ring that wants to get her into prostitution (eg 3×17, Runaway ), does alcohol abuse (ep. 3×02, Growing Pains), he lets himself go to a crisis of fanaticism for his show idol (ep 3×16, Starstruck ).
In 1979 he played the role of Lidya Haley in Roots 2 ( Roots: The Next Generation ). In 1980 he played in the TV movie The Children of Divorce the dramatic role of Denise, a very young gymnast who, due to the separation of their parents, begins to abuse alcohol, and this will lead her to ruin her career permanently.
Between 1993 and 1998 she played the role of Regine Hunter in the sitcom Living Single, never broadcast in Italy. In 2001 he starred in the film Me and Mrs. Jones, with Wanda Christine and Brian J. White. In his career, he also participated as a guest star in some episodes of other successful series, such as Mork & Mindy, My Friend Arnold, Willy, and Prince of Bel Air.
He then performed marginal roles in several episodes of television series but also dedicated to cinema, theater, and music both as an interpreter and as a producer. In May 2007 her first child, Alexander Sebastian, was born, from the relationship with Christopher L. Morgan with whom she officially married on July 31, 2007. She also has a degree of communication sciences (with a specialization in journalism and TV production).
