Thelma Evans: Where Does She Rank In All-Time Sexiest TV Characters? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 10-30-2010, 09:59 PM

In the Seventies, the CBS show "Good Times" was home to one of the hottest women in show business! Brooklyn-born Bern Nadette Stanis played middle sister Thelma Evans from 1974 to 1979, and was one of the fiercest, flyest Black women of the decade. With her sassy one-liners, fabulous hairdo's (everything from an afro, to a high bun, to Shirley Temple ringlets), and high-fashion-on-a-budget wardrobe, Stanis' performance as the inner city Chicago teen made her one of TV's first Black "It-girls." Honestly, watching her parade around the Evans' household in her fabulous, high-waisted bell-bottoms, cork platforms and gauzy halter-dresses, we all wanted to be her! And in a pre-"Fame," pre-"Flashdance" era, the Julliard-trained dancer inspired a generation with her fabulous moves and leotard-and-ballet skirt ensembles (American Apparel, much?). So before her time.

After the show ended, she became an in-demand character actress and went on to launch a successful writing career. Stanis published two books, "Situations 101" and "For Men Only," and wrote "Who Can You Trust," a play starring Ralph Tresvant and Melba Moore. But to us, she'll always be gorgeous, glorious Thelma!

She should rank pretty high, she was a hottie. Every guy I know whom I have asked thinks she is hot.

Yup, she was a beauty all right! I liked her character and she did a great job. She was, as they used to say in the 70s... FINE.

Growing up in a white neighborhood I had a huge crush on her but couldn't tell anyone..

It was the times..

But make no mistake about it. I thought she was the most beautiful thing on television...
