Okay ILOSM fam’ I’m just gonna put this out there: I LOVE me some “Thelma” and I know I’m not the only one. For decades, we all used to love us some Bern Nadette “Thelma” Stanis and now you will be pleasantly surprised when you meet her two look-alike daughters. Bern Nadette’s daughters will definitely give y’all “Good Times” era flashbacks, because they look like “Thelma” mini-me’s. Also, the fact that the talented Bern Nadette is 68 years young and STILL fine as she wanna be is an added treat. Check out the pics below…

BERN NADETTE STANIS’ ELDEST DAUGHTER, DIOR

Dior, is Bern Nadette’s oldest daughter. She’s in her early 30’s and is an aspiring model and an author. Dior looks so much like Thelma’s clone that it made us do a double take when we first laid eyes on her.

She loves chillin’ with her Mom and below are photos of she and Bern Nadette at an autograph signing during a prior Essence Music Festival. Dior even rocked a hat that said “Thelma’s Daughter”…How cool is that?!!

Well, let me rephrase that because “Thelma” is FOINE today at 67 years young and to us here at ILOSM, she’ll ALWAYS be in her heyday! So we’ll just say that Brittany Rose is looking just like her Mommy looked during her “Good Times” era.

Bern Nadette is very proud of her daughters and she revealed that Brittany is currently pursuing a career in the medical field…a gynecologist to be exact:

So there you have it fam,’ we can now say that there are officially THREE “Thelma’s.” So the line “Papo” said to “Thelma” in “Good Times” seems appropriate for this article and that is: “Oooooh Lawd, Thelma, Thelma, Thelma!” Fitting words “Papo!”

Get it Bern Nadette…

Get it Bern Nadette…

The post “Thelma’s” Two Gorgeous Daughters Are Her Twins … And She’s Still Looking Good appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

Good Times actress, Bern Nadette Stanis, affectionately known to us Good Times fans as “Thelma,” spoke about one of the most heartbreaking memories she had of her beloved Mother, Eula Stanislaus.

In her book, The Last Night: A Caregiver’s Journey, Bern Nadette discussed her parents’ relationship and how they nurtured her career, education, and success. However, the book’s primary focus is on her Mother, who had Alzheimer’s disease and also on how Bern Nadette took care of her throughout that journey.

Bern Nadette’s Father was ultimately murdered, leaving she, her siblings, and mother to band together even more, but when Eula’s Alzheimer’s disease began to worsen in her elderly years, so did her memory of those she nurtured and loved the most:

Via BlackDoctor.org- “They were very, very wonderful parents,” Bernadette laughs as she recalls how good they were together even though they were opposites. “Mommy was from Louisiana – ‘a Southern little doll’ and Daddy was from the West Indies and he had that fire going!”

Her Mother’s condition became so grave, that Eula eventually could not even recognize her own daughter, Bern Nadette. That grim reality became evident during this moment:

When her mom was in the later stages of Alzheimer’s she was watching Good Times with Stanis one day, a show she loved to watch. Thelma and JJ were having one of their usual spats when her mother turned to her and said, “That’s a cute little old girl.” It was a devastating blow that made all too clear the progression of the disease.

“It hit me so hard that my mother did not know that was really me, and it was her that put me on that show and she gave me the face of Thelma. So I said right then and there, I am going to use the same face to put on Alzheimer’s and fight with that! I’m going to fight and hopefully educate and make aware of what it is and what this thing has going on, the characteristics of it, and hopefully we can find an answer to slow it down and stop it eventually.”’

Bern Nadette’s Mother passed away in 2011. Since then, Bern Nadette has started her foundation, Remembering The Good Times, to educate people about Alzheimer’s disease and raise money for it’s cure. She is determined to spend her life doing anything she can to use her fame and her face for the cause.

Bern Nadette Stanis wrote a book in her Mother’s memory:

“My mother died October 6th, 2011.  I started writing a few lines of this book at that time, but every time I would write a page or so  I could’t finish my paragraph, sentence or thought without crying.  I told myself, “If I don’t continue through this pain, this book will never get done.” I had writer’s block and I didn’t know how I was going to make it through to the book’s completion.”

On when she realized her Mother’s health was beginning to deteriorate:

“I knew something was going on but it was only slight forgetfulness of things. I really noticed a change when she stopped cooking. She would always order in. Her clothes were not put together the way I knew she could, and her hair was untidy. I decided it was time for my mom to come live with my family and me. We were all eager to have her because my family and I had discussed this many times before. I watched mom go from a person very concerned about everything to a person less and less concerned. That’s the way it appears but her love and concern for me still remain even today.”

Bern Nadette on her relationship with her mother and how she dealt with the heartbreak of her mom’s condition prior to her passing:

“This disease is a hurtful one because you miss the way things were, but if you accept the way things are now you can still have a great time together as we do. I am mom’s caregiver, and I just make the adjustments as we go along. I have cried for us both but mother in her deep wisdom always knows how to dry my tears. She will say, “You are a good person. You’ll make it. You’ll be alright”. Can you imagine? Now this is a mother’s love and a daughter’s joy.”

It is so beautiful to see Bern Nadette determined to not allow her beloved Mother’s death be in vain. Her purpose on Good Times was to represent a beautiful, intelligent African American young lady growing up in the hood. Now, her life’s purpose is to remind everyone that no matter how tough the fight may get as we walk through our life’s journey, don’t ever forget to remember the good times. That will help us understand and appreciate our current situation, regardless of how bleak things may seem at face value.

So what does it look like when a bangin’ 51 year old and a fine as hell 64 year old superstars link up after years apart? You’re about to find out. That would be what Janet Jackson and the legendary Bern Nadette Stanis a.k.a. “Thelma” from “Good Times” are showing us.

“Penny” and “Thelma”…That You?!!

During her latest performance, Janet, who played the cute as a button “Penny” on Good Times, was paid a visit backstage, by her former co-star, Bern Nadette, and her grown daughter, Brittany. The amount of beauty that was captured in one photo was priceless, check it out below…

They look like they had a blast and probably reminisced about the good ol’ days on the “Good Times” set, while schoolin’ Bern Nadette’s daughter on how “Good Times” truly impacted the lives of all of us back in the day. Okay, that was MY version of what happened, but seeing as how I was not there, I can only imagine that’s how the convo’ went down with both of my back in the day crushes.

About Bern Nadette’s Daughter

By the way, in case you’re wondering about Bern Nadette’s daughter, here’s a quick recap of what we’ve previously reported on her…

Her name is Brittany Rose and she’s the 23 year old daughter of Bern Nadette and husband, Kevin Fontana. She chose a totally different same career path than her mom though. Word on the old school curb is that Brittany was attending Hampton University to pursue her ultimate goal of becoming a  gynecologist.

In Case You Missed It

Speaking of Bern Nadette and Brittany linking up with Janet at her show, earlier today, we reported that Janet headlined the 2018 Essence Festival in New Orleans, LA. She and paused her show to pay a beautiful tribute to her father, in a way she’s never done before. She spoke of Joe’s strength as a Black man, raising 9 Black children and taking them from a poor Black neighborhood in Gary, Indiana to the heights of success that was far beyond what most could possibly dream. Janet also choked up at the reality of him transitioning on. Admitting it was a very difficult decision for her to continue her tour, following Joe’s passing, she relied on the strength Joe would have encouraged her to have, thus landing her in N.O. at the Essence Fest and here’s what she had to say:

“It was really hard for me…I didn’t know how to move forward, if I should cancel this festival or the entire tour,” she told the Essence audience. “I talked to my brother, and we started to talk about my father’s strength…If it wasn’t for his drive and strength, we wouldn’t have the success. We are a black family that came from Gary, Indiana and we broke all kinds of records around the globe.”

It’s unclear which brother she’s referring to, but if I had to guess, I’d say it’s probably the one she’s closest to, Randy Jackson, who’s always by her side. Janet continued:

“My father was a great man…and my brother, he asked me, ‘If he [Joe] were here right now listening to this conversation, what do you think he would say to you?’ And I think my father would have said, ‘Janet, please, finish what you’ve started, and I will be with you every step of the way in your heart.’ So here I am,” Janet concluded.

Rest on Joe Jackson.
