A THROWBACK TO "GOOD TIMES"

On CBS's "Good Times," Stanis played the acclaimed role of "Thelma Evans," the daughter of James Evans, played by John Amos. She maintained her role from 1974 to 1979, when it stopped airing, but the memories stay evergreen.

She decided at that moment to start creating awareness and educating people about it.

Once in an interview, Stanis shared her thoughts and tidbits about the 1970's show, which was then a household name. She said, "I think the show was written so realistically in terms of people's emotions and feelings."

UPDATES ON BERNADETTE

Following her mom's passing, BernNadette was determined to immortalize her memories in the most thoughtful way.

In line with this, the CBS star founded "Remembering The Good Times Foundation," an initiative to help Alzheimer's disease patients. This was the illness that took the matriarch's life.

Stanis once recalled that when her mom was alive and at the late stages of Alzheimer's, she was watching an episode of "Good Times" and didn't remember it was her daughter.

The Hollywood icon explained that the development made her distraught, and she decided at that moment to start creating awareness and educating people about it.
