Jackson, who played the role of Penny Gordon Woods in Good Times, appeared in a memorable episode titled “The Evans Get Involved,” which dealt with child abuse at the hands of her biological mother.
In the two-part episode, Penny’s mother Linella Gordon, played by Kim Fields’ mom Chip Fields, is ironing a shirt. The unhinged, irate mom burns Penny with the hot iron. That incident exposes Linella’s secret history of battering her child.
“You gave me Good Times flashbacks for a minute. Seeing you with that iron reminded me of Chip Fields and you in the scene as Penny. Happy Halloween,” a Twitter account shared, adding a meme of the scene.
