Bern Nadette Stanis Reflects on Evolution of Thelma | Good Times 50: Still Golden

Bern Nadette Stanis certainly opened the door for generations of Black actresses who followed in her footsteps. But, being the first, isn’t always easy. In a digital-exclusive interview with TV One, she shares how her on-screen mom, the late Esther Rolle, advocated for her and gave her character a voice, which created space for the only Evans daughter to blossom throughout the legendary series.
