Lisa Diane Whelchel (born 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 got her start as a Mouseketeer on The New Mickey Mouse Club, which aired in syndication from 1977-1978. An original cast member of The Facts of Life, Whelchel once refused a storyline that would have made her character the first among the four young women in the show to lose her virginity in that controversial episode. A born-again Christian, Whelchel refused because of her Christian convictions, and the storyline was rewritten for the character of "Natalie." Whelchel appeared in every single episode except for that one.

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