68. Lisa Whelchel

Facts of Life, a hit comedy-drama series in the ’80s, has catapulted Lisa Welchel’s fame. The then nine-year-old actress played Blair Warner on the show. Welchel was also known to have appeared as Mouseketeer on The New Mickey Mouse Club.

The star had long quit show business in favor of a more fulfilling and rewarding career as a life coach before she ended up as one of the contestants in Survivor: Philippines. Even when Welchel was familiar with public scrutiny and always being watched, she came unprepared for the challenges as a contestant for the reality show. After 39 days in the remote islands of the Philippines competing with fellow stars, Welchel once again focused on her life coaching career, conducting online classes on personal development, and putting up significant savings to build her brand.
