R.I.P to another old school SS cast member.

I remember when these clips with Charlotte were brand new.
In Season 3 there were a number of minor characters (including Raul Julia) who didn't last beyond the season.
At least they retired Molly's character before she got disgruntled.

Are there any other clips with her?

From what, Sesame Street?

I mean, we really only have 2 season 3 episodes surfaced.

Yes.

By coincidence Charlotte Rae passing away, if Will Lee (Mr. Hooper) was still around he'd be 110 today.

Every time SST adds a bunch of new cast members, there's always the one person that really stands out that doesn't last. For Season 25, it was Ruthie, for season 3 it was Molly. Charlotte was a very funny and charming person. There was something about her that made all of her characters endearing.

Glad she lived a nice long life. May she rest in peace.
