The 81-year-old grandmother of two resurfaced at a hospital parking lot in West Hollywood last week, looking pleasant.
To bolster ratings in 1985, producers had Mrs. Garrett's bakery, Edna's Edibles, destroyed and replaced by the Over Our Heads gift shop. Rae left the series the following year.
Charlotte's mother was a childhood friend of late Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir.
1. Rock on, Charlotte! She looks like a wonderful grandma!

9. Me too, #2. He was cute back then. She was the best! Loved that show. The episodes they did back then are still very timely for today. If it weren't for the hairstyles and clothes, you could put it on the air and not miss a beat.

10. I loved Mrs. Garrett! Please TMZ readers - do not start bashing how she looks. For God's sake - she is 81 and looks like she is still getting around well! AND NEVER HAD TO GO TO REHAB!!
