Mindy Cohn is an American actress and comedian. She is known for her role as Natalie Green in The Facts of Life, and also for being the current voice of Velma Dinkley in the Scooby-Doo franchise, which she has held since 2002. She currently resides in Beverly Hills.
Cohn has continued with her acting career outside of The Facts of Life. In 1986, she appeared in The Boy Who Could Fly playing the part of 'Geneva'. She also had guest appearances in other popular TV shows such as in Charles In Charge in the episode "Bottle Baby" playing Buddy's sister Bunny, a young alcoholic, in 1988, as well as two guest appearances in the second season of the cop drama 21 Jump Street, in the episodes "Christmas In Saigon" in 1987 and "Chapel of Love" in 1988 playing Rosa. In 2003 she was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for her work on the TV show What's New Scooby Doo?, where she did the voice of Velma Dinkley. She also reprised her role of Velma on Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated along with several Scooby Doo movies. She also received a positive notice from Variety in her role in the 2007 Daniel Waters directed comedy film Sex and Death 101. Cohn said that one of the reasons she did The Facts of Life Reunion film in 2001 was because she claims that the actors in the long-running series have been wrongly denied a cut of the syndication and DVD profits from the series.
"We all never got paid and still don't get paid for DVDs and reruns ... we felt we were owed." In 2010, she played the role of Violet, the leading character in Casper Andreas' movie Violet Tendencies. On October 29, 2010, she appeared on the Season 8 premiere of TLC's What Not to Wear.
