Kim Fields (born May 12, 1969) is an American actress. She was one of the first truly successful child actresses of color. She was born in New York City.
She was discovered by an acting agent for the sitcom The Facts of Life after appearing in a commercial for Mrs. Butterworth's pancake syrup. From 1979 to 1988, she played Tootie Ramsey on the program. This was Kim's most notable role. Even twenty-five years later, Tootie is known to many television viewers for her catchphrase, "We are in trou-ble!" She was also known for the braces she wore on the series for six seasons.
After taking time away from acting to attend Pepperdine University, she had a starring role in the hit FOX sitcom Living Single from 1993 to 1998 as Regine Hunter. Nowadays, she keeps a lower profile. As of late, she's guest-starred on television series such as One on One.
