J.J's Fiancee-Part 2 when he said she went on the prom in 1949-lol So that would have meant that she was 43 when she started Good Times, 48 when it ended and 75 Today-lol Sound accurate to anyone??-lol

There is no way that Dubois is 75 today.

So you do think she coul have passed for 45 in 1976? I think her and Marla Gibbs are the same Age

No one on the show played their real age. Willona and James were supposed to be older than Florida, but in real life Esther Rolle was much older than Jan'et Dubois and John Amos.

Florida's age was never mentioned so how was she supposed to be younger than Willona and James?

She did look older for her age.

She's not 75 today, is she?

She's not 75 today, is she?


If she's Not she is not far from it-lol

I've always wondred how old she is today and when she was in "Good Times".

Per IMDB.com http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0239425/
she was born in 1945 which puts her at 61 not 75.

This has already been discussed. She was not born in 1945 because she had a 1960 Jet Magazine Photo with a swimsuit on and I don't think Jet Magazine had a 15 year in their Magazine. IMDB is WRONG

Well I was not here when it was previously discussed. I went to what I consider a legit, reliable source and posted the information from there instead of listening to a bunch of theories.

IMDB is not a reliable source

I have to agree to a degree with Solomon. It is a reliable source at times but then again, there are some errors.

I always thought whatever I read at imdb was true, but after this, I'm very skeptical.
