Did you wonder if perhaps Charlotte Rae (Mrs. Garrett on "Facts of Life" and "Diff'rent Stokes") had passed on?
Bite your tongue! Mrs. G lives! I kind of cracked up at her comment about Mindy (Natalie Green) Cohn. When "Facts" was starting up, they went to the L.A. girls' school Mindy was attending to get some ideas about what girls' schools were really like. Mindy entertained and impressed them so much that they ended up writing her, a non-actress, into the show. But apparently she doesn't like to be reminded of that fact.

About Me
- Gael Fashingbauer Cooper
- I'm an entertainment editor at MSNBC.com, and have maintained Pop Culture Junk Mail since August, 1999. The New York Times called the site "one of the best places to explore pop culture online," and Entertainment Weekly included it on their Top 100 Web Sites list. If you like weird food, strange products, and 1970s and 1980s nostalgia, PCJM is your home away from home.
I have a brand new BOOK, written with Brian Bellmont. "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s and '80s." Buy it online, and follow our retro reminiscing on our GenXtinct blog, Facebook, and Twitter.
