Posted On : May 14, 2016

If you’re a fan of What’s Happening or Good Times chances are you have seen actress, Ja’Net Dubois’ (Willona) REAL LIFE daughter and didn’t even know it.

She’s made several appearances on those two shows in the 70’s. She was always cast as the pretty girl or the puppy love interest of one of the male characters on the show.

Who’s Ja’Net Dubois’ Daughter?

Today you might find Rani making public appearances with her Mom, and if you haven’t seen these two in recent years, they are just as beautiful as EVER! A lot of us fellas had a crush on “Willona” back in the day and we still have a crush on her now!

Most Memorable Role

Her most memorable role probably came from the What’s Happening “Shirley’s Date” episode in the video below, where she played the girl who got stood up by “Dwayne” and threw a drink in his face. She’s played a student, a cheerleader and various other roles on Good Times and What’s Happening between 1976 and 1979.
