Listen Later

Because of the state of the world, we are trying something new this week and celebrating a long lost actress, the legendary Charlotte Rae. You Might Know Her From The Facts of Life, Different Strokes, The Worst Witch, Don't Mess with the Zohan, Lil Abner, Ricki and the Flash, and Car 54, Where Are You? We break down some of our favorite credits of Charlotte's, the gems we uncovered while doing our research, and revisit the kind words past guest Nancy McKeon had to say about the star of stage and screen.
