There was never a more beautiful young lady in the history of sitcom television.

BernNadette Stanis (neé Stanislau), whom most folks know as “Thelma Evans (Mrs. Keith) Anderson,” was a former beauty queen contestant and as the years have gone by, the truth is – she still is. A beauty queen.

BernNadette Stanis, 60 and still fabulous

I’ve often wondered if she is tired of hearing people call her “Thelma,” but her main website was, at one time, called ThelmaofGoodTimes, so it must not bother her too much.

The website appears to have some kind of virus or hacker issues going on as of today, but when the news reports came out that she was 60 years old this year (61 in December), I had to go find out for myself.

Some reports are saying that she is 57, but IMDB-which is usually pretty accurate, says she was born in 1953, not 1957.

If she truly is 60, she’s just a tad bit older than me; but goodness, it would be nice to look like her whenever I decide to grow up.

Ms Stanis has a “forever fan club” who may not follow her around like a crazy “trekkie,” but they keep up with her on a regular basis, just to see what she’s up to these days — and to check on her many co-workers from the 1970s hit and “Maude” spinoff, Good Times.

The famous and Black historic sitcom was all about the everyday shenanigans and trials of The Evans Family, patriarch James, matriarch Florida, JJ (James Jr.), Thelma, and Michael, and their friend and neighbor, “Willona Woods” (played by the beautiful actress Ja’net DuBois) and Willona’s “dimply-cheeked” adopted daughter, Millicent “Penny” Woods, played by none other than Michael Jackson’s baby sister, Janet.

The entire clan lived in what was depicted as the “Cabrini-Green Projects” in Chicago, Illinois. They eventually “hit it big” and made it out at the end when Keith, Thelma’s husband, was cured of his prior knee injury and returned to the football career that he almost lost, with a million-dollar contract in hand.

As everyone who knows knows, the television-based “Evans family” had their fair share of bad times and hard times, as well as the title themed good ones–but “ThelmaofGoodTimes” was also dealing with her own fair share of problems in her personal life as well.

Her mother, who died in 2011 of complications resulting from Alzheimer’s disease, has given Ms Stanis a lifelong mission of making people aware of the disease and seeking to find a cure for it.
