The girl that was hated on the show by the boys in her class..........
Nicole "Nikki" Swasey Seaton played Arnold's arch-nemesis, Lisa Hayes, in about 13 or so episodes.
Nikki sent in this information in 2004:
"After Diff'rent Strokes I left my agent because I felt she wasn't sending me out on enough auditions and went with Gary Coleman's manager. He was able to get me a guest spot on 227 and a Doritos commercial. This was during the time when Gary was suing his parents, manager and other financial advisors. The manager in turn left the business and I never pursued other representation. I stopped acting for several years. Not sure what I wanted to do next, I took part-time jobs in retail during my later high school years. I went to college for a year, but found it wasn't for me. I was able to make some contacts in the entertainment industry and landed a job as a personal assistant for Yvette Lee Bowser who was a producer for 'A Different World'. During my time there, I performed as guest cast for one episode, which I decided wasn't for me anymore. My next job was as stage production assistant on 'Living Single'. I enjoyed working behind the scenes. Fortunately, Warner Bros. Studios had a spot open in their directors guild program which I landed. From there I began my career as a stage manager / assistant director, which I'm still working as today. (Living Single, Wayan's Brothers, Sunset Beach, Hype, The Berne Mac Show, The Tracy Morgan Show, and various others). Thanks for your interest in me. I'm not yet a computer person but when that changes I'll be sure to keep you up to date. Thanks Todd. From Little Lisa. "
Updated Mach 2012: Nikki is still working as an Assistant Director. She's worked on films like "The 40 Year Old Virgin" and "Superbad." She has worked in television on the "Just Jordan" and "So Random" kids show. In early 2007, she opened up a upscale women's vintage clothing boutique called, "Revival Vintage" in Los Angeles, California. It's located at 7403 Beverly Blvd. Eventually, she wants to transition out of the business and just run the store. She married Director Eric Dean Seaton on July 2, 2011. They are expecting their first child on March 22, 2012.
