Although Bern — as she is fondly called — didn't disclose the particular award show, she and her sister looked fabulous in their outfit and makeup.

The image showed the sisters who share a striking resemblance wear a big grin for the camera as they posed next to each other. Captioning the post, BernNadette wrote:

"?TBT ? Me and my Sister Debbie at an award show. #Sisters #Siblings."

BernNadette and Debbie looked great while rocking similar hairdos, although their outfits were different. The actress had on a white off-shoulder gown, which she finished off with a neckpiece and matching earrings.

Debbie, on the other hand, had on what looked to be a blue gown with a similar off-shoulder pattern, but hers had stones on the bust. She paired her outfit with a long dangling lariat neckpiece.

Her mother remembered Thelma but could not remember BernNadette played the role.

BernNadette Stanis is best known for her role as the feisty and goal-driven Thelma Evans from the 1974 series "Good Times." Speaking of her role as Thelma, Stanis revealed that she had a lot of Thelma's traits in her.

Although it has been almost 46 years since the first episode of "Good Times," BernNadette has helped keep the memory of the series alive by naming her foundation, Remembering the Good Times, after it.

The inspiration for the name of the foundation that focuses on helping patients with Alzheimer's came when Stanis and her mother, who had the disease, were watching the series. Her mother remembered Thelma but could not remember BernNadette played the role.

An actress, public speaker, writer, and advocate for understanding Alzheimer's, BernNadette Stanis has expressed that should there be a need for the reboot of the series, she would gladly jump on the project.
