Final appearances of Lisa Whelchel (Blair), and Mindy Cohn (Natalie) of "The Facts of Life" in this series. Whelchel had previously appeared in Season 1's "The Girls School", while Cohn had appeared in Season 2's "The Slumber Party".
It is mentioned at one point that Kimberly is 15 and her date, Mike, is 25. In real life, Dana Plato (Kimberly) was 16 and Lou Richards (Mike) was 29.
The description for this episode is wrong: Kimberly was not "sick of looking fifteen" when Blair puts makeup on her. Instead, she is preparing for a school play, and looking older for the role, she goes along when an older guy asks her out.
