The books were also adapted into an HBO series in 1990 and a film in 1995 (perNBC).
Netflix’s version adapts the series for the 21st century while remaining faithful to the original series.
One ofThe Baby-Sitters Club’s breakout stars is Momona Tamada, who plays Claudia Kishi on the show.
“I definitely identified as a Claudia…
Bringing these characters back was such an honor.”
Claudia broke a lot of ground when the book series first launched in 1986.
Instead of being an overachieving student, Claudia was into art and struggled in school.
A lot of work went into her portrayal of the character.
“The Baby-Sitter’s Clubhas such a huge legacy behind it,” she said.
I did do a lot of character studying before I got on set.
Claudia isn’t the only iconic character Tamada has brought to life.
