'Facts of Life' Star Charlotte Rae on Learning Her Husband Was Bi-Sexual

The actress talks with ET abou ther marriage, and about body issues.

[@fool4singing]

I didn't know she was only 5' tall! I really love her. She always delivered those lines of advice to the girls with honesty, strength and dignity.

[@oct484]

I agree. She didn't look that short on facts of life. I would say I thought she was at least 5feet 5inches or so.

REST IN PEACE TO THE LOVELY CHARLOTTE RAE (MRS. GARRETT)

[@greggbarnette5316]

The fact that the girls were real looking weight etc made the show more authentic and relatable to viewers...the kids on Saved By The Bell were all perfect looks body....

[@chesterbenjaminlane6132]

it just breaks my heart that i have found out about charlotte rae passing away on 8-5-2018...she will be missed forever!!

[@lorireece1970]

Sooooo many people would turn on their ex-spouses upon learning that they are bisexual. Not Charlotte! Friends till the end. How very sweet!

[@justicierodelaliga]

Firends. Did not seem to be that after he came out to her they stayed together as a couple. And yes, I get the surprise, the times but still...

[@ClearYourMindTravel]

I loved Charlotte Rae. She's like that 2nd mom.

[@ajsassy788]

She's lovely as ever!

[@PhillyFitClub]

89 and a half. Ha. That was cute. I was almost ready for her to say "I'm this many" and flash however many fingers. But, she was such a strong, class act. So dignified and powerful.

[@doneisiadavis3001]

I loved miss Garrett!

[@whatsfunny9571]

❤

[@tinkerbella4605]

Love her to pieces

[@BritishPicker]

Oh my. Sad. Love and hugs to her family and friends. And I am not a doctor, but we have VHL in our family. Sounds like Charlotte’s family may want to look into the possibility of their also having the VHL. And may science one day beat VHL and all cancers from the Human Body. Peace to us All.

[@juliezwyer4918]

Charolette Rae was my Grandpa's cousin. We have pictures of her with my Grandpa when they were kids. :D

[@whatsfunny9571]

Nice to Know‼️❤️

[@ThatOneGuyOverThere]

2:25 I love how she says “89 and a half”

[@kachoo2135]

Natalie had lost quite a bit of weight in later episodes; Tootie had gained it when they took her off the rollerskates

[@stephenouma]

RIP Charlotte

[@cockaheuck1534]

Hay. I root for the girls. I am proud of them. I admired them even more than young Judy Garland. Because they didn't listen to the bull grap system. I say let beautiful nature take over. Especially Charllet Rae & she was living proof that not all heavy woman get diabetes. & she was a fox & beautiful

[@littlecasino60]

There are still men today who are gay or bisexual and they marry women. In many cases she knows about it but doesn't care. Not sure how that works out, though.

[@americanpriness1]

Princess Taboo in some cases the wife doesn’t know.

[@cadegavel]

Her reaction to finding out her husband was bisexual doesn't make sense. It isn't that she was reacting negatively to the fact that he was also attracted to men *as well as* to other women, but as though as though it were *instead of*, as though she were finding out that he was never attracted to her. She seemed to be confusing bisexuality with homosexuality. It was a bit weird. Well, anyway, RIP.

[@TheEwing69]

cadegavel my gay buddy says most of his “tricks”, are closeted married men.

[@PhillyFitClub]

It's not weird - it's just lack of understanding. Also, it's a big thing to find out 25 years in. This is from 2015 - but, her marriage was from way before that.

[@Payne_Inc.]

It's actually shocking (which makes her reaction perfectly normal) upon discovering your spouse had intercourse with the opposite sex, *throughout your marriage.*

[@brendalovesmariah]

Now she is 91

[@rockysocky]

Her reaction was “I thought you liked girls, girls, GIRLS!!!”

[@IamtheNoodleGirl]

0:20

[@eliranpinhasov5940]

Iconic

[@Madamemedusa1986]

Why would it make her feel less of a woman that her husband was bisexual I don't understand that

[@ClearYourMindTravel]

5ft tall? I never knew that.

[@guinnettrussell8599]

Rip :(

[@martron1962]

Guinette Russell She’s alive

[@myman8336]

Mrs garret: Girls Girls Girls!!! Her husband: Boys Boys Boys!!! :D

[@4benprice]

Am I the only one that noticed her right cheek being swollen up? What is that? A Goiter? I wont say mean things about it because that might screw up my karma and cause me to have numerous goiters later in life....

[@reggaetimeclt]

isnt she something.
