'The Facts of Life': Leonardo DiCaprio to co-produce reboot of popular '80s sitcom with Jessica Biel
Producers Leonardo DiCaprio and Jessica Biel will be hoping that the new show will buck the trend of recent reboots of '80s classics not living up to their expectations
Fans of 'The Facts of Life' – the very popular '80s sitcom – who have been mourning the recent passing of the show's original star Charlotte Rae have a reason to rejoice. Leonardo DiCaprio has taken it upon himself to bless the fans of the show with a surprising upcoming reboot, according to Deadline.
Charlotte Rae, who was 92 when she passed away on August 5, played the role of the much-loved Drummond family housekeeper Edna Garrett. The show was basically a spin-off of 'Different Strokes'. In it, Edna's character takes the job of a housemother and becomes a mentor to a group of young girls at a gender-exclusive boarding academy.
