Charlotte Rae Dies; Facts of Life Star Was 92
Charlotte Rae, the star of two classic and beloved sitcoms, died Sunday at her home in Los Angeles.
She was 92 years old.
The veteran actress revealed in April of 2017 that she had been diagnosed with bone cancer, telling People Magazine at the time:
“About seven years ago, I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer – which is a miracle that they found it because usually it’s too late. My mother, sister and my uncle died of pancreatic cancer.
“After six months of chemotherapy, I was cancer-free. I lost my hair, but I had beautiful wigs. Nobody even knew.”
She added at the time:
“Nobody ever knew. So now, at the age of 91, I have to make up my mind. I’m not in any pain right now. I’m feeling so terrific and so glad to be above ground.
“Now I have to figure out whether I want to go have treatment again or opt for life.”
Rae rose to television fame as Mrs. Garrett (affectionately known as “Mrs. G”) on Diff’rent Strokes, the wise and kind house keeper for Mr. Drummond.
She then played this same role on Facts of Life, which ran from 1979 through 1988.
There’s actually be talk of late of revising this series, which focuses on Mrs. Garrett serving as the caretaker for quartet of students at Eastland School for Young Women.
Rae was born in Milwaukee and got her start in the entertainment industry via the theater and radio.
She first starred on the small screen as Sylvia Schnauser, the wife of Al Lewis’ Officer Leo Schnauser on Car 54, Where Are You?.
Despite her two Tony Award nominations and single Emmy Award nominations, it wasn’t until legendary producer Norman Lear cast Rae in Diff’rent Strokes that her career took off.
Rae proceeded to o guest star on programs such as ER, Pretty Little Liars, Sisters, and The King of Queens, while appearing in films such as Don’t Mess with the Zohan and Tom and Jerry: The Movie.
Her final regular gig was voicing “Nanny” in the animated 101 Dalmations: The Series, which aired from 1997-98.
In 2011, The Facts of Life cast reunited for the TV Land Awards, where Rae took home the Pop Icon award.
In 2015, Rae released a memoir titled The Facts of My Life, which documented her 44 years of sobriety, along with the discovery that that her husband, John Strauss, was bisexual.
Tweeted Todd Bridges, who starred on Diff’rent Strokes as Willis, one of the two kids Mrs. G helped raise:
Different Strokes would not have been the same without you #CharlotteRae. You were loved by everyone on our show and you were loved by everyone on the facts of life will miss you “My heart is full of Pain” Rest in peace my friend.
He added the following as a tribute:
“I love life. I’ve had a wonderful one already,” said Rae 18 months ago after confirming her second cancer diagnosis.
“At 91, every day is a birthday. [In my book] I want to tell everybody to celebrate every day, to savor the day and be good to yourself, love yourself, and then you can be good to others and be of service to others.”
This amazing life has now come to an end.
May Charlotte Rae rest in peace.

Audrey Roloff: Here are 5 Shocking Facts About Me!
Audrey Roloff is mostly an open book on social media and on Little People, Big World.
But the reality star has taken to Instagram in order to reveal a few fascinating new pages about her life.
In a wide-ranging post she shared in February of 2018, Audrey revealed a few never-before-known facts regarding her stomach, her ears and a certain writing habit she cannot give up.
Scroll down if you wish to get to know Audrey Roloff better than ever before…
1. What Do You Want to Know?!?
Roloff has talked openly about difficulty breastfeeding, about her faith in God, about her marriage… she’s basically an open book on Instagram.
2. She Loves – and We Mean LOVES – Her Daughter
There’s not much Audrey can really tell us about motherhood or raising little Ember that she hasn’t already shared. So, what did Roloff reveal in this unexpected Instagram post?
3. The Tease:
“5 things you wouldn’t know about me from following my insta feed…” Audrey wrote to open this message, prior to delving into pretty serious detail in regard to each “thing.”
4. She Has a Problem with Her Ears
“I have accidental gauges. Yes, you read that correctly. I haven’t worn earrings in 6 years,” writes Audrey as her first fact.
5. What Does This Mean Exactly?!?
She expounds as follows: “Apparently spending all day every weekend wearing a ski helmet isn’t the best idea after getting your ears pierced… I noticed me ears were a little sore, but I have a high pain tolerance so I didn’t think anything of it. oops. To this day, if I pull my ear out to the side it looks a lot like a piece of bologna some kid bit the center out of.”
6. Fact #2
“I was a complete tomboy growing up. The only time I ever wore dresses was to prom. And even then I still wore my vans.” We can sort of see this, can’t you?

In 2014, after almost 25 years of marriage. But she has remained on the show and by Kody’s side ever since.

Kellyanne Conway shocked the world on Sunday, January 22, 2017.
How so?
The Counselor to President Donald Trump claimed in an interview that White House press secretary Sean Spicer gave "alternative facts" in his description of the attendance size at the inauguration.
The celebrity world was not impressed with this assessment and took to social media to reveal their thoughts on the matter.
Scroll down to find out what they said…
1. Andy Cohen
#alternativefacts is perhaps the greatest Real Housewives term I have ever heard. I can’t believe we haven’t heard it on a reunion.
2. George Takei
Kellyanne Conjob made clear that the audit was a smokescreen, and we won’t be seeing Trump’s taxes. They’re full of ‘alternative facts.
3. Tony Goldwyn
Kellyanne Conway just coined a very dangerous phrase like it’s the most normal thing in the world. #AlternativeFacts.
4. Sarah Silverman
Lies now called ‘alternative facts’ by trump admin.

13 Shocking Jenelle Evans Facts!
Given how long she"s been on television, how much she reveals on social media, and her astonishingly large gallery of mugshots, you might think you know just about everything there is to know about Jenelle Evans.
But believe it or not, the Carolina Hurricane hasn"t gone on a social media tirade about everything in her life…just most things.
Anyway, we"ve got the low-down on some Evans info that most fans don"t know about.
For instance, did you know she has a favorite Teen Mom 2 baby daddy? (Hint: It"s not one of hers.)
Check out the gallery below to find out who it is, and watch Teen Mom 2 online to see Jenelle find new and spectacular ways to mess up.
1. She Probably Gets Paid Less Than You Think
Teen Mom stars aren’t allowed to discuss the details of their contracts, but Jenelle SORT of opened up during a recent interview with The Ashley’s Reality Roundup:
2. She’s Never Met Farrah Abraham!
Something about that seems so wrong. You know those two would hit it off. Or possibly claw each other’s eyes out.
3. She’s Lost Count of How Many Times She’s Been Arrested
“I had my record expunged for all the dismissed charges I’ve had,” she said. “Really, I don’t have anything on my record other than arrested numerous times.” Oh, is that all?
4. Her New Boyfriend is Also a Jailbird
David Eason has a mile-long rap sheet and was once arrested three times in a four-month period. These two are a match made in heaven!
5. She’s Still Struggling With a Mysterious Medical Ailment
Jenelle hass been hospitalized multiple times and undergone coutless tests over the past year, but still no diagnosis. Even the doctors on syndicated talk show The Doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her!
6. She’s a Tiny Terror
Jenelle stands just 5’1″. She’s kind of like a house cat: if she were much larger, there’s a good chance we’d all be dead.
