So my hubby, I and a couple of friends spent the day in Downtown Detroit at Hart Plaza where the "Ribs and R&B Music Festival" has been going on all weekend and it was fabulous! But the highlight of our adventure had nothing to do with Ribs nor R&B music. We were walking around the Plaza, checking out the sights and at one of the booths, we saw BernNadette Stanis - 'Thelma' from the TV show "Good Times"

At 57 years young, looking freaking FABULOUS!!!

wow

Every brotha in my old South Bronx neighborhood had a crush on Thelma back in the day. She still got it!

She was really cool. People were asking her "Where's JJ?" She politely smiled and said, "He's in Vegas." Jimmy Walker of course is out in Vegas. But I thought it was so sweet, the way she just goes with it. She was taking pictures, signing autographs and selling memorabilia to raise awareness of Alzheimer's Disease. Her mother was diagnosed with it six years ago. She will also be back in Detroit, October 2nd to the 5th, in a Gospel Stage Play with Vivica A. Fox at the Detroit Opera House, called "Danger At My Door".

Nice pic HH.

Saw her a couple of years ago at the LA Crenshaw block party; yeah, she's cool people.

She looks very good.

Nice she looks great! Several years ago,I heard that she was planning to write a book about her 'Good Times' experiences.I would love to read that.

She's currently starring in some play. I heard them mention her name on the radio a couple days ago. I think it's currently in Detroit. She is definately a beautiful woman!

I want one of those 'Good Times' T-shirts that she has at her table!

I would have asked her "What even happend to that cute little girl: Penney?"

In Cali(California) as well !!

Thelma always had that bangin azz body. And that smile...

Oh my lord !

I'd hit it again & again

Thelma may not have been able to make a simple pot of oatmeal, but she had a smile to die for...and ass for days!!!! And you can tell from that slice of hip hanging off the side if her chair that she still has it! AND i would give anything to have the Sly Stone posters she had on the wall in her bedroom.

I think I've only seen the parent's bedroom.

Guess I haven't seen all the episodes from back then, thought I did.

I'll try googling it.

Got distracted. Watched the episode.

I watched Good Times.

She's actually written a couple of books, I saw them but none on her "Good Times experiences" or I'd have certainly bought a copy. When I go to see the stage play she'll be in here in October and I can manage to talk to her again (I have my methods ) I'll be sure to ask about it.

She did a few episodes of different strokes and Fame then nothing really much after that

She looks great, but why does one of those pens say "TODAY'S FBI"?!?!?!?!?

Someone alert TonyVanDam! I think we have uncovered another entertainer/Illuminati member!
