(CNN) Charlotte Rae, a gregarious actress with a prodigious career on stage, screen and TV, died on Sunday at the age of 92, her son Larry Strauss told CNN.

She is best known for her role as housekeeper Edna Garrett, first on the sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes" and then the spinoff "The Facts of Life," with both shows launching in the 1970s and running several years into the '80s.LINK

I thought Ms. Garrett was hawt.
She was almost as sexy as Hazel.

Then there’s Maude.

I’d knock the bottom outta that.

And Aunt Bea was hot, but I always thought her friend Clara was hotter. Kinda in the same way others debate about Ginger and Maryann. (Which was ridiculous because we all know Mrs. Howell was the sexiest on that island)

At 92? I don't think this one qualifies.

Believe it or not, the only person still alive from Different Strokes is the crackhead who almost went to jail for killing his dealer (Johnnie Cochran got him off).

What you talkin bout, Willis?

Longevity! Long live Willis!
