AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MISS JANE PITTMAN starring Cicely Tyson. I had seen this movie for the first time in junior high school. I love this movie. It came on the other night on PBS and I was watching it. I hadn't seen it in soooo long and to my surprise there were two actors from GT's who had made guest appearances.

Thalmus Rasulala, he played Florida's boss who took her to the japanese restaurant and also played James' friend who had the gambling problem. He also played on What's Happening playing of course, the father.
In this movie he plays a character named Ned; he is the son of Cicely Tyson's character. He isn't really her son, but she and him grew up on the same plantation and they both were orphans. She raised him as her son. When the character grew up, Thalmus played that part.


Rod Perry, played Willona's "boyfriend" Jeff who was paid by Penny's mother to set her up.
He played a character called Joe Pittman. Cicely Tyson's character married Joe and he was killed by a horse shortly after.

Is this the same Rod Perry that played in S.W.A.T?

Since this is a movie thread I will not start my own but I saw 2 more Good Times Actors who starred in a movie from 1975 called-"Cornbread, Earl and Me"

Carl Dixon and the Older Woman who was involved with J.J in season 4. I think her name her was Ms. Bishop

Thamulus Rasulala was that movie too, but I'm sure you knew that. I just had to point it out.

You should give it another chance. It was good, (I have it on tape) and yes, that was Larry Fishbourne's debut film.

Yes!!!!! good catch. My God, how did I overlook that? Man, that should have been caught a long time ago!!!!

I only watch Comedy Movies, so the fact that it's a drama it was hard for me to continue watching

Solomon, did you see the 1975 Bill Cosby movie "Let's Do It Again" that also had Jimmie Walker and John Amos in it? If not, I will send a copy with the tape I'm sending you. It's pretty funny.

No i still haven't seen that movie but sure will like too.

Ok good. I think you'll enjoy seeing John Amos and Jimmie Walker in this at the same time they were on GT. Not to mention the movie is very funny to me. Besides Bill Cosby & Sidney Poitier, it also has Calvin Lockhart and the actor who played "Ben", Florida's date in season 4 at the bar. He's one of John Amos' gangsters-lol

I think the mother from Baby I'm Back was in the movie too

Yes, Denise Nicholas. She was also in A Piece of The Action, the third Cosby/Poitier movie.

That's a good movie, Jimmie as a boxer was a little to much, he looked skinner on there then on GT for some reason LOL

"Cornbread Earl and Me" was a great movie. I cried like a baby when I first saw it, I was 15 when I saw it for first time. At the end when he's in court telling what happened gets me all the time.

Also Ja'net DuBois was in "A Piece of the Action" along with Tamu. That was a great movie, But Ja'net hair in that movie was a trip.

I'm surprised TV ONE never showed-"Let's Do It Again"

Ibe was in "Uptown Saturday Night" and Calvin Flockhart. That was the 1st (and best) of the Sidney Poitier/ Bill Cosby movies.

I brought this up before but Ja'net DuBois and the guy who played Thelma's boyfriend Larry on GT (sorry don't know his real name). And the girl who played their drunk cousin Naomi (don't know her real name either), and one of James friends were all in a movie called "Five on the Black Hand Side." Along with Glynn Turman and the Grandmother from the Cosby show. There was this fat lady in the movie who kept eating, everytime you see her she was eating something, And it dawned on me that it was the Grandmother from The Fresh Prince.
