The final episode of the NBC sitcom Facts of Life, a spin-off of Diff’rent Strokes, aired nearly 30 years ago. It’s no surprise that Facts of Life won numerous honors after nine seasons and 209 episodes. Yes, we enjoyed the show from 1979 to 1988, but we’d like to go back in time and see how they’re doing. Keep reading to find out where all the stars are now.
Charlotte Rae
Coming up first is none other than the legendary Mrs. Garrett. Did you know Rae was nominated for an Emmy for her performance? After thirty years, Rae had accumulated more than 91 credits to her name. Perhaps you caught a glimpse of her in Adam Sandler’s You Don’t Mess With The Zohan? She recently appeared in Ricki and the Flash. Unfortunately, she succumbed to cancer in December 2016.

Lisa Whelchel
Who could forget Blair’s shenanigans? When Lisa started portraying Blair, she was only 14 years old. Lisa took a break from performing once she finished with her character. Blair Warner was then brought back in 2001 for The Wonderful World of Disney. When she returned, no one was talking about rumors of cosmetic surgery. Her appearance was almost comparable to that of her previous character!
