Actress, Charlotte Rae, is best known for her role as Mrs. Garrett on the TV series "Diff'rent Strokes" and "The Facts of Life" and her career, from "Car 54 Where are you?" and Molly the Mail Carrier on "Sesame Street" to the current role opposite Meryl Streep and Kevin Kline in "Ricki and the Flash," has been the envy of numerous industry members. However, life at home was not always as comedic as the characters she created, both on stage and on screen, to entertained the public for several decades.

On Nov 3rd, NY's famous Sardi's Restaurant will host a booksigning for friends and colleagues of Multiple Tony nominated stage, screen and multiple EMMY nominated TV Icon, Charlotte Rae, as she releases her new memoir entitled "The Facts Of My Life" ($24.94/$34.95, Nov, 2015) to be followed by a signing in Los Angeles at Barnes & Noble at The Grove on Nov 11th.

*** Los Angeles - Nov 11th - 7:00pm at B&N/The Grove (189 Grove Dr K30, LA, CA 90036 - 323-525-0270)

Sardi's: Vincent and Eugenia Sardi founded Sardi's Restaurant in May 1921 on West 44th Street in the heart of the theatrical district. The Broadway theatre would never have been the same without Sardi's: Plays have been written and entirely financed at Sardi's and hit shows have celebrated their opening at Sardi's. To hang your drawing on the wall at Sardi's is to make your mark on the history of the American Stage.
