I always thought she was so pretty and had great style on the show.

Yeah I watch Good Times episodes sometimes, just to see her style and mimic it :smile:

I met her two years ago and she's STILL gorgeous! She just needs to stop with the babydoll hair wigs! When I saw her she was dressed real sporty. We all should mature so gracefully! :lashes:

Why did people, particularly black folks, generally look better in the 70s and 60s? I can't explain exactly how, but... they just looked different... healthier, flyer, classier, more something.

LMAO I love her. Really. I grew up wanting to BE Thelma Evans.

I like when she guest starred on shows as "herself" a couple of times.

Y'all remember these?

I asked for and got all the Good Times DVDs a few Christmas' ago and all for the fights between JJ and Thelma! She had the best digs and comebacks at her older brother. Yes, she was one fly chick!

Because they were NATURAL! Everything about them...from their style to their bodies to their attitude, they didn't have to force anything. Even if they were in "character" they knew how to play into well w/o trying too hard.

And also everything that's going on now has already been done before, so it's not as exciting as it was to see it originally.
