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.

137. Having had the privilege of meeting Charlotte Rae, I can tell you that her beauty is not only on the outside but the inside as well. Ms Rae is compassionate about her craft and at the same time it can be it said that she is compassionate and carrying about others. Ms Rae is a rare jewel and we are so fortunate to have her.
