    • Rich

      Yea Pam Grier was the true personification of black beauty in the 70s. Nobody was badder than that woman. This caption is misleading.

  7. theresa

    She looks amazing! but… Ima need her to get a better wig. Some virgin indian hair or something! that look like pure plastic…. nevertheless, she looks fab

  8. LADY RENAEE

    Wow beautiful sister, Thelma you are gorgeous. I might check out your book.

  9. Rian

    I think instead of getting a “new wig” or “virgin indian hair”, she should just wear her own hair. Her little afro puffs with the edges greased down and a ribbon were (are) cute. Anyway, I guessed it was her because of the mural in the background ;) Good Times..

    • Theresa

      There’s nothing wrong with wearing weave/wigs! Her own hair would be fine, there’s nothing wrong with that either, all I’m saying is that IF she or anyone for that matter, decides to wear weave/wigs at least let it be quality and not like she got that at a 19.99 clearance sale…

    • Rian

      Right, of course. I wasn’t saying it to denounce all wig wearing. There’s nothing wrong with wearing one’s own hair either though, especially since we’ve seen that she had quite lovely hair back in the day.

  10. Angela

    For some reason I thought it was pam grier. But do you THELMA!

  11. Heemi

    Oops, I thought it was Jackee, lol. Didn’t pay attention to the 70s part, lol.

  12. hollywood!!!

  13. lively09

    She looks great!

  14. Janet

    I grew up watching Good Times as a kid in the mid 70′s. When my Family arrived from Grenada I remebered watching the show and wanting to be like her. She or should I say her character had class, beauty, intelligence, ambition, integrity and so much more. Her character Themla was everything a young girl aspired to be. She truly was a role model for me back then. I thank her for building a young girl from the West Indies self esteem and self concept.

  15. Puritee

    I knew it was her I saw her that day.. very nice person

  16. Surprise

    She still got it.

  17. JN

    Thelma, every boy’s crush, back in the day. Lookin’ good, mami!

  18. Indigo

    Teeth and skin sistahs! Keep those two and weight tight and you will not crack..

  19. TheE
