Everytime I see this movie, I can't help but remember this actress being in Good Times and also Maude. She played in the episode of Maude "Florida's Goodbye" and she played Ms. Jenkins, the woman who was Willona's supervisor at the dept. store. Her name is Conchata Ferrell. She is one of those character actresses where you see her in so many tv shows and movies, but yet, don't know her name. She played the overweight lady that didn't like Erin Brockovich and vice-versa. Julia Roberts character kept calling her names like "krispy kreme" and making fun of her being fat.

Just thought I would pass this info along for those who didn't know.

I just finished recording the Maude episode "Florida's Goodbye" and noticed her in it, remembering the Willona the Fuzz episode. She's actually a pretty good character actress. Does she still look the same Irene?

check her out in Erin Brockovich and you will see. She is older now, but still, she is one of those character actresses that no matter what, you will recognize her...her voice and attitude still the same.

She is also on the television show "Two and A Half Men" as the maid.

She was also in Hot'L Baltimore. A show from the 70's. So I would guess that she is in her late 50's.

That's the show that everyone is looking for-lol I gave up because not a lot of people had VCR's in their home in 1975. So I took Hot L Baltimore off my Want List
