Tootie spent a lot of time in her trademark roller skates, but it wasn’t just a character choice. They actually put actress Kim Fields in those because she was so short. Interestingly, she lost out to a role on Diff’rent Strokes because she was too tall for the scenes with Gary Coleman. Bonus trivia: What was Tootie’s real name? Answer: Dorothy Ramsey.
