'Mrs. Garrett' teaches Adam Sandler character facts of life
Wednesday, May 07, 2008
LOS ANGELES At age 82, it sounds like Mrs. Garrett is still teaching youngsters about the facts of life.
Charlotte Rae, who played boarding-school supervisor Edna Garrett on the early-'80s sitcom "The Facts of Life," says she has a cameo appearance in Adam Sandler's new comedy, "You Don't Mess with the Zohan."
Spoiler alert: Rae's role brings the term "cougar" to a new level.
"We make love together," the veteran character actress told AP Television on Tuesday night at a "TV Moms" event held at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
In the movie, which opens June 6, Sandler plays an Israeli commando who goes undercover as a hair stylist with a penchant for promiscuity.
"On a table from one to 10, I rate him, 'Not bad,'" Rae said, with a laugh.
