Sitcom spinoffs were all the rage during the 1970s, but one show took it a step further and became the first to be a double spinoff. Good Times was a spinoff of Maude, which was a spinoff of All in the Family. The series was centered around a poor Black family in Chicago, with each episode depicting both the dramatic issues in their lives and the hijinks of the family’s three children, J.J., Thelma, and Michael. Thelma was played by Bern Nadette Stanis during the series’ six seasons from 1974 to 1979, and the character was the first Black teenage girl on a sitcom.

Stanis remains best known for playing Thelma, but she has continued acting over the years, including appearances on several popular TV shows. She’s also gone on to write books and has reunited with some of her co-stars. Read on to find out more about Stanis’ post-Good Times life.
