      Her role was to be eye candy to draw the male viewers which she did well. But they rarely featured her in any episodes and she mostly just was there in a tight top and throwing the odd insult at Jimmy Walker.

    Thelma had pure star power. Clearly her beauty and charm was/is flawless.
    Grew up watching this show in the '70s (age 8 to 18). TV was pure magic back then: no cellphones, no internet, no email, no social media, didn't need all the clutter.
    Thanks for the video, lovely memories of a beautiful lady.

So you can imagine my confusion for not taking my eyes off her on every scene. She's just naturally and universally beautiful to everyone.

      Well, I don't think it's a case of her chasing fame as it is that she wasn't able to find much work in Hollywood after GT was canceled. Like Jimmie Walker and Ralph Carter ,she was a victim of typecasting, so I think her absence in acting isn't voluntary. But she still looks great and it appears she's doing well.

I was getting to that age where you start to get those warm feelings and stuff, and I couldn't take my eyes off Thelma. Definitely my first crush. She made those 70's outfits rock! Her smile is beautiful, body is ridiculous, she was loving to her parents, and comically put J. J. in his place when he needed it. Glad to see that bit in Love Boat (thank you so much for putting that in!) Got a little teary eyed with that picture at the end with John Amos. What an absolutely beautiful woman - God Bless Bern Nadette Stanis! Your videos are so positive-GOOD WORK and thank you!

She never had the oppurtunity to be a lead actress. But definetly has the Talent and screen presence. When shes in a scene she captures your attention immediately.

      Yes, I would have definitely remembered BernNadette Stanis' song if I heard it before. It had some groove to it, danceable and her voice was fine. I remember Ralph "Michael Evans" Carter's song "When You're Young and In Love," and of course remember that Janet Dubois sung the Good Times theme song, and also had an album called "Queen of the Highway." I think there was another little girl on the show that made a few albums. Her name was something like Janet Jackson. Guess they had two JJ's on the show.

    I fell in love with Sister Thelma Years ago as a kid watching Good Times. She was so fine as she is now, she was genuine, very sexy, intelligent, Great sense of humor all the way around. Good Times was always good to watch. Thanks for the info because I had no ideal that Bernadette Stanis was a singer nor did I know that John Witherspoon had passed away so I guess I missed hat news but may my brother rest in Eternal Peace. I pray that all brothers and sisters calm down and learn to love and respect one another & we all know right from wrong so live righteous and be peaceful. God Bless You All & Much Love to Bernadette Stanis because she will always be a beauty In every eye that has ever seen her! She a descendant of The Kings & Queens of God's original People so let us remember we are royalty so respect each other and keep it conscious in your mind to do what is right.

I was the ecstatic. She is still holding her own. It's good to see that she is doing good, and I wish her much more success years & years to come.
