"Norman Lear's Good Times wasn't just a television show-it reflected the times, a powerful narrative shaped by the Civil Rights Movement of the sixties and seventies, and a story of love, laughter, and resilience. As Thelma Evans, I had the honor of representing a strong, beautiful, brown-skinned girl whose journey echoed the hopes and dreams of countless viewers." In this heartfelt memoir, I invite you behind the scenes of Good Times. Our show broke barriers and authenticated and redefined what family, community, and success looked like for Black America. From the inspiration that Eric Monte and Michael Evans brought to life to the impact of the Civil Rights Movement on the storylines, Good Times was more than entertainment-it was a cultural movement. I'll share personal memories of working with my incredible co-stars, the laughter we shared, and the iconic guest stars who graced our set. Plus, I've included a special Q&A chapter where I answer some of the burning questions fans have asked me over the years. In this book, I'll tell you what Good Times meant to me, how it shaped my life and career, and paved the way for more authentic representations of Black families on television. Join me in celebrating Good Times's legacy, its incredible impact on television, and the hearts of those who watched it. Good times, indeed!

Autorenporträt
BernNadette Stanis is best known as the quick-witted, savvy, original "It" girl, Thelma Evans, from the groundbreaking sitcom "Good Times." She was the first African American female teenager to be cast in a full family show, and she remains the personification of the "gem" that young girls aspire to be.BernNadette's place in television history was solidified by her undeniable contributions to redefining the role of a young Black girl from inner-city ghettos across America, challenging the stereotypes held by the masses. The character Thelma showed that a girl from Chicago's inner-city projects could live a life full of hopes and dreams, while also possessing intelligence, self-respect, dignity, and grace. For BernNadette Stanis, these traits are not just part of a role-they are an intrinsic part of who she is.The legendary actress and author continues her stellar career, currently starring as Nee Nee Duncan on Carl Weber's "The Family Business" and "The Family Business: New Orleans."
