lobbying on her behalf: "Mr. Reynolds calls me into his office. It
seemed that Charlotte Rae had fallen madly in love with me, in part
because I reminded her of her best childhood friend Natalie â€" and I
was irrepressible, charming, and hilarious. So she asked the producers
to create a part for me in the show. Honestly, the whole thing seemed
so fantastic I didn’t know what to think."After the show, she
remained friends with Rae. Two months before her acting mentor's 90th
