Mackenzie Astin, the acting brother of Sean and son of John Astin and Patty Duke, has posted this lovely remembrance of Charlotte Rae. He was 10 years old when he appeared on 21 episodes of “The Facts of Life.” He remembers her as being “squishy. Good squishy. Cookie dough squishy. It was comfortable in that embrace. Safe.”

Showbiz411 is now in its 13th year of providing breaking and exclusive entertainment news. This is an independent site, unlike the many Hollywood trades that are owned by one company. To continue providing news that takes a fresh look at what's going on in movies, music, theater, etc, advertising is our basis. Reader donations would be greatly appreciated, too. They are just another facet of keeping fact based journalism alive.
Thank you
