Dee On The TVLand Awards!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

comedyfreak · 03-23-2006, 08:11 AM

She looks so pretty, definately a mature woman now. She and Alison Arngram won the most in need of a time out award, it was a tie. Both even argued about who was more of a brat, it was hilarious.

I did see Dee. She looked nice. I also noticed she was on some kind of crutches. Like she couldn't hardly walk. I wonder what happened to her. She looked crippled.

I was about to ask that too. I know she was in an accident in the late 70s, but she should have healed from that. Not only was she on the crutches, but she got assisted on stage as well. I will say this, she is much prettier than she was when she was a kid. I guess some ugly duckings do grow up to be pretty swans. LOL

No, she was an ugly child, but it caught me off guard how pretty she turned out. She looked decent in What's Happening Now!

She is Average to me. 7 out of 10,

hoosierelvisfan · 03-24-2006, 08:33 AM

She is an attractive woman, IMHO. But I was extremely curious as to why she was walking with a crutch?????? Apparently, none of us here seems to know. Such a pity, because my curiousity is getting the best of me.

I didn't watch the program, but did she look crippled? Did it look as if it maight've been a leg injury? Maybe she sprained her ankle or something.

hoosierelvisfan · 03-24-2006, 07:02 PM

It wasn't the type of crutch that goes all the way up under your armpit like you see people use when they break their leg skiing or something. It looked more like that other kind of crutch that people use when they are crippled and can't walk. That's what made me wonder if she had an illness or something. There's no polite way to phrase it, I'm afraid. I was just curious to see her using that crutch/brace.

ThomasE · 03-25-2006, 12:21 PM

I was startled to see that. I thought I was just imagining it, but no. I asked myself if she was crippled? I pray that she would get better. Anyway, I never thought to myself as Dee being ugly. I thought she was cute. Back in the late 80's when What's Happening Now was in first run syndication, one of my classmates would talk about how good looking Dee was. She did look good on the revival series. Danielle looked very pretty and the dress she wore was beautiful as well. Red agrees with her.

CindyRoxiesLair2006 · 03-27-2006, 07:39 PM

No, Danielle didn't break any leg or anything of that sort.

The truth of the whole matter is this (and I know, b/c I recently found this out from the SOURCE HERSELF--Danielle):
She was diagnosed with MS (multiple sclerosis) as of mid-2005, and it has unfortunately begun to affect her lower limbs--especially on her right side.

And this is why she has to walk with assistance from the crutches/canes.

But despite this, though, Danielle's done pretty well with routine therapy, regular checkups/visits, etc. And she is quite a strong person overall, as well as a good person to know & keep in contact with.
Since 2001, it's been fun communicating with her, etc., thanks to my brother & sister-in-law knowing her & her husband for a long time through the present day.
Danielle looks excellent, and she is a very beautiful woman overall. She gets prettier as she matures.

To be nearly 41 y/o and all, Danielle is well-maintained all around and it is natural beauty (no need for Botox, Olay, or anything else like that! LOL, not kidding)...

I was at the TV Land Awards recently, thanks to my brother providing me & a couple of my good friends with tickets and backstage passes. It was very enjoyable all around, and it was even more fun in getting dozens of pictures of the main events therein, while getting to know some of the other classic TV stars as we sure did.

That's all I have to say here. I only wanted to set the records straight on this item.
Thank you.

Hi Cindy, miss you here on the boards.

I never knew she was diagnosed with MS. My older brother had it and he suffered for years...he died in 2002. It is a horrible disease and it takes so much away from a person. I am saddened to hear that she has this. This is horrible. I hope she will get nothing but the best help she can get.

ThomasE · 03-27-2006, 10:19 PM

Thank You for clearing that up for us. I really wanted to know. Do you think that she would do an interview of sorts? I, like others, would love to know what has been going on with her from when she first began with the show.

CindyRoxiesLair2006 · 03-28-2006, 03:44 AM

You're quite welcome for the information, everyone.
It was really saddening and shocking for us to learn about, especially coming straight from Danielle herself, believe you me.

And thanx much for the sincerity, Irene. I know you mean it.

I only come on here when I can, and also in order to clarify facts whenever possible (especially about our "strong sister", Dee/Danielle Spencer! LOL

)

BTW, ThomasE! About Danielle and a "possible interview"...
I'm very certain that she'd do one concerning her whole life line, and so forth.

Since I just got back on Saturday evening (3/25/2006, when I left the LA area where the TVLand Awards/its festivities were held), I haven't thought about anything except for HER and how truly fun/enjoyable she is.
I was out there for 2 weeks, as were my pals Andrea and Michelle, and we stayed in a suite that overlooked the Pacific Ocean.
My brother & sis-in-law, plus their 16 y/o son (my nephew Tony), came down to that area from their Northern Cali home & they lodged right next door to us.

And ThomasE...nice photo you have of MY two favorite "brat idols": Nellie and Dee, back to back!
They were the only two that I truly identified with and looked up to, when I was growing up in the Seventies. Really!
I got a couple of analog (regular, not digital) photos shot of them all, following the awards show, btw!
I used my all-in-one digital camera-DVD recorder for motion shots after the show was said and done.

comedyfreak · 03-28-2006, 08:21 AM

Poor Danielle, she's been through so much. I would've really loved to meet the Good Times cast, there's so much I'd ask them. I'd like to see these two couples in a new sitcom as a husband and wife:

Sherman Hemsley and Marla Gibbs
John Amos and Ja' net Dubois W/ Johnny Brown as a friend
