1977 TV Movie on CBS called-"The Greatest Thing That Almost Happened" It was a love story about a highschoool basketball star(jimmie walker) who learns that he has leukemia.


Also The girl(Tamu) who played in the Good Times episode-"Sometmes Rich Better is Poor" as the girl who robbed the Evans Family when they won the lottery also played in this movie.


I'm just surprised that someone as Gorgeous as Debbie Allen decided to play Jimmie Walker's girlfriend TWICE in less than two years-LOL

It's call "Paying Your Dues":)
