Bern Nadette Stanis – Writing Books at Age 66
Giving the character of Thelma Evans life in the famous 70s sitcom Good Times was actress Bern Nadette Stanis. The show was based on a black family, which was very uncommon at the time, and Bern became a fashion icon and role model for many little girls.
After the show ended, Bern would appear in a number of other shoes such as The Cosby Show and What’s Happening Now, but nothing as big as her breakthrough role. Now, Bern is an advocate for Alzheimer’s Disease and has written 4 books that were all well received.
