But one of her most recognizable early roles was as the little girl who "looooooved" Mrs. Butterworth in the classic syrup commercial. After a stint on the series Baby I'm Back and an appearance in the miniseries Roots, Kim landed the role of Tootie on The Facts of Life. When the show began filming, Fields was so short that the producers put Tootie in roller skates to avoid difficult camera angles. Ironically, she had lost a role on Diff'rent Strokes because she was too tall to play Gary Coleman's girlfriend. She has directed Nickelodeon's Kenan and Kel, as well as Fox's Living Single. She has also been on many television shows as guest appearances such as The Golden Palace, Martin, and The Fresh Prince of Belair.
