“You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have the facts of life.” If you just sang along, then there’s a good chance that, like me, you grew up watching the beloved sitcom, The Facts of Life. The coming-of-age spinoff from the sitcom Diff’rent Strokes, the series featured Charlotte Rae as Edna Garrett, who moves to upstate New York to be a supervisor at the dorms of Eastland Academy boarding school.
