You Take the Good, You Take the Bad

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.

20. I personally always thought the deep, little twinkle in her eyes was only one of her best features, her personality was another. She's looking good.

25. Awww, she looks good. I hope her ex-cast mates give her the time of day. She could probably use a little of it right about now.

28. What I love about this photo, is that she looks exactly like an 81 year old grandmother. She doesn't look like an 81 year old who had surgery coupled with copious amounts of hair color in order to try and look like a 60 year old or something.

Go ahead on Charlotte! If more woman allow themselves to be what they are, then maybe.....just maybe it'll catch on.

29. Windbag apparently is so fixated on Britney that he/she must talk about her on every blog. Looks stupid to do it, but whatever.

TMZ, looks like your attempt to make fun of the elderly has backfired. It is clear that the public in general has a great deal of respect for older people and seem to understand the aging process and its inevitability in the lives of us all. Yes, even you, Harvey. Somehow, though, I think Harvey's the type to be on the plastic surgeon's table for years to come.
