For 9 seasons, audiences watched as Edna Garrett, a housemother at an all-girls’ boarding school, helped a group of teenage girls tackle the various obstacles that come with everyday life. But while this sitcom had everyone in stitches in front of the camera, there are some unknown truths behind the scenes that will leave fans shaken.
Not many people know that the show that aired on television wasn’t the show that producers originally set out to make. And after some tough cuts during the first season, the cast of the show was nearly unrecognizable. If you had your TV set to NBC in the ’80s, you’ll undoubtedly remember this classic sitcom.
