Garrett, keeps busy with stage work, cruise ship performances, lecturing, and occasional TV and movie roles. So what are the former “Eastland girls” doing these days? Well, in Hollywood, “you take the good, you take the bad…”Ĭharlotte Rae, the former Mrs. Cohn recently said, “We all never got paid and still don’t get paid for DVDs and reruns. I would not watch it, so why would I be in it? It’s just never the same.” The script wasn’t very good but the returning castmates liked the idea of getting together and earning some additional cash. McKeon was officially unavailable for the project but later admitted, “I’m just not a fan of that kind of thing. In 2001, The Facts of Life Reunion movie brought Rae, Whelchel, Cohn, and Fields together again. The series would last for two more seasons before being cancelled. Her sister Beverly Ann Stickle (Cloris Leachman) stepped in, adopted young Andy Moffet (Mackenzie Astin) and Aussie Pippa McKenna (Sherrie Krenn), and helped to guide the former schoolmates into early adulthood. Garrett got married and she rejoined the Peace Corps with her new husband. Late in the show’s run, studly handyman George Burnett (George Clooney) was added to provide some male eye-candy to the show. She watched over a diverse bunch of schoolgirls like snotty Blair Warner (Lisa Whelchel), tomboy Jo Polniaczek (Nancy McKeon), fun-loving Natalie Green (Mindy Cohn), and nosey Tootie Ramsey (Kim Fields). It began as a spin-off from the very popular Diff’rent Strokes sitcom and transplanted the Drummunds’ housekeeper Edna Garrett (Charlotte Rae) to the fictional all-girls Eastland School.
For nine seasons, The Facts of Life was a staple of NBC’s primetime schedule.
