Shannon accessorized the outfit with a set of gold bracelets dangling on her wrists, a pair of gold hoops, and a massive neon green band on her finger. Despite the attention-grabbing accessories, the star’s endless mass of glowing skin, which she flaunted proudly, easily stood out.

JOHN AMOS’ HOLLYWOOD ESCAPADES

Although John Amos is best known for his role as James Evans Sr. in the 70s sitcom “Good Times,” he has starred in other notable movies that fostered his rise to fame. Some of his credits include “Roots,” “Coming To America,” and the 2020 sequel, “Coming 2 America.”

However, his days in “Good Times” posed some of his biggest challenges. John once opened up about the marginalization he faced on the show from the predominantly white crew and showrunners, which ultimately led to the termination of his contract.

Explaining why he was fired, the veteran actor disclosed that some of the attitudes the writers expected the cast to portray were not befitting for a Black family. Once he began airing his views and opposing some of their ideas, they became agitated.

John admitted he may have voiced out in an unprofessional manner, hence, triggering the wrath of his employees. By implication, his character was killed off, forcing him to throw in the towels.

His “Good Times” fame paved the way for the legend to nab other major gigs. Over four decades later, the Hollywood veteran made a surprise appearance on a Live in front of a studio audience classic episode of “Good Times,” titled “The Politicians.”

JOHN AMOS’ VIEW ON RACISM IN HOLLYWOOD

Having played the first Black family man on television, no one knows more about racism in the movie industry than John . The father of two, who survived Hollywood for over five decades has been open about his numerous run-ins with racists.

As the industry evolved, the showrunners became more receptive to the African-American community, creating an atmosphere of tolerance on set. The move vastly reduced the incident of racial slurs and humiliating jokes during his stint on "Mary Tyler Moore Show."
