Did anyone else notice that for the "70, Girls, 70" Encores! production that two of the women are connected?

Charlotte Rae and Mary Jo Catlett both played the housekeeper on "Diff'rent Strokes. Rae was "Mrs. Garrett" from 78-79 and Catlett was "Pearl" from 82-86.

Also, I was checking out the press photos of the cast and they none of the women look old enough to play these characters, in my mind. They all look so good; except perhaps Carole Cook (the un-naturally red hair, the heavy eyeliner, the kabuki face).
