Hey All. Figured I would give this a bump since it is difficult to find interviews on youtube of Michelle since she passed away right before the internet exploded in popularity and all that seems to be readily available are videos of her playing a particular character.

Nice to see something where she is actually talking as herself.

If anyone knows of any other articles where they interviewed Michelle Thomas please feel free to post them. And if you can actually track down a video on youtube (or someplace else) where she is giving an interview please definitely post that.

She was beautiful on the outside, but in my opinion, her inside was misguided. If she couldn't conceive, adoption was always another option especially when there are kids out there who are in sheer and severe need of parents.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. Dead people can not have kids at all period self conceived or not.

Just pure speculation on my part here but it may have had something to do with her religious beliefs. She was Muslim and Muslims often tend to have certain things they are pretty strict about.

With that said though we probably don't really know what the real situation was. We need to remember all this happened when the internet was just getting started and before we had instant news outlets to look info up on. A lot of this is probably just theories/rumors that were developed after the fact.

^^^ Thank you for telling me about Michelle. I never knew that she was a Muslim.

God bless you and her family always!!!

This is so sad to read because she seemed so upbeat and happy and looking forward to getting older, seemingly having beaten the first round of cancer. She also took amazing care of herself by eating healthy and exercising! And then shortly after this, everything took a drastic turn for the worse. Poor Michelle … I may be a gay dude but she was drop dead gorgeous. And that smile. What a beautiful ray of sunshine. I hope even up to her final hours, she was happy and content and not scared. I wonder if Jaleel ever had a brief crush on her while she was on Family Matters. I can’t imagine how heartbroken he was upon hearing of her passing. I can tell he still is.

And this is one of the only Michelle interviews that I’ve ever read. There really aren’t any. Same with Rosetta LeNoire. I managed to find one from maybe 1993 or so, and I loved it. She absolutely loved being on Family Matters and had nothing but good things to say about the whole thing!
