Charlotte Rae Sexy

The appearance of Charlotte Rae (best known as matriarch Edna Garrett on the TV shows Diff’rent Strokes and The Facts of Life) on this website proves that, if you dig deep enough, you can find footage of just about anyone taking part in a little skintimacy. In this case, we catch Rae during a romp in the shower in a 1950s commercial for the oil industry—which kind of plays out like the shower scene in Psycho, except that Norman Bates channels an inquisitive oil industry rep instead of his dead mother and Marion Crane is more than happy to answer his questions about oil heat. This being a television commercial from the 1950s, any other heat happens outside of the camera’s eyeshot—which may be all well and good, since to a generation of kids raised on 1980s sitcoms, it would be pretty much the equivalent to seeing old 8mm footage that dad took of mom in the shower.

Born in Milwaukee in 1926, Rae moved her way up from radio to theater to television, making her biggest splash in the aforementioned pair of TV shows as well as making a memorable appearance in the 1979 hippy-dippy musical Hair and TV movies & series ranging from The Worst Witch and 101 Dalmations: The Series to The King of Queens and ER. She’s appeared in countless other film and television roles, but, for the purposes of this site, the closest she’s come to clothes-free is in that oil commercial. Anyone begging for more… well, you might be able to find footage of her appearance in The Vagina Monologues in New York. Sure, it’s all talk, but if you’re jonesing so bad, there’s your clue. Go nuts.
