The black and white photo collage showed the sisters smiling together, and Stanis while acknowledging the resemblance captioned the post,

"Good Times Live is airing on December 28th. People keep asking me, 'Am I going to play Thelma?' I said, 'Well, if I don't, then one of my daughters should.' What do you all think."

While Stanis's suggestion sounds good to her fans, none of her daughters are actors. Dior is more of a writer like her mom, while Britany Rose is studying at the Hamptons University to become a gynecologist, a feat the actress is proud of.

The actress turned writer's girls might not get to play "Thelma," but their mom still remembers her time on "Good Times" with fondness and love.
