The 65-year-old star earned the public’s love and attention back in the ‘70s when she gave life to Thelma-Anne Evans Anderson, the third child of the Evans family who became the epitome of the good girl in a black family that, despite living in the suburbs, wanted to do things the right way.

After the show ended, Stanis went on to make appearances on series like "The Cosby Show" and "What's Happening Now!!" but afterward, she became a book author and a dedicated mother of two.

THEIR MOTHER'S TWINS

While is not clear what does Dior does in her life, Brittany Rose graduated from Hampton University in Virginia two years ago with a B.S. in Molecular Biology, and she's currently pursuing another major at Meharry Medical College.

The girl is following her mother’s steps, not into acting, but in taking care of others.

BERN NADETTE'S EXPERIENCE AS A CAREGIVER

Bern Nadette has become an outspoken advocate for Alzheimer’s disease after her mom’s passing in 2011. She created the Remembering The Good Times Foundation and released the book “The Last Night: A Caregiver's Journey'' about the disease's impact on her life.

Speaking to the Sun-Sentinel a few years ago, Stanis opened up about her role as her mother’s caregiver, saying:

“We all at some point become caregivers to our parents in one way or another. I wrote this book as a companion book because I was feeling the pressure of being a caregiver. I was taking care of my mother while mourning her dying literally. The book is what it was like for me, and hopefully, it will help other people going through it.”

It's clear Bern Nadette is an inspiration not only to her fans, but also to her gorgeous daughters, and they inherited not only her good looks but also her kind-hearted personality and will to help others.
