The wonderful Nia Peeples played over achiever Nicole Chapman from 1984 to 1987 in Seasons 4, 5 and 6. Until the producers killed of the character! How could they do it! 

 

After “Fame”, Nia carved out a varied & fantastic career of music, presenting and acting both on TV and in feature films. She released two solo albums, presented the U.S. version of Top of The Pops, was V.J.  on MTV, and had her own music TV show “Party Machine”. Acting wise as well as guest starring on so many U.S. TV shows she co-starred in big shows like “Walker Texas Ranger”, “Pretty Little Liars” and “The Young and the Restless”.
