Hello everyone. Long time lurker, first time poster

I am big fan of GoodTimes and Sanford and Son, and these are some of actors and actresses that have been on both shows.

Willona (Ja'net DuBois): A goodTimes regular, she was also in one episode of Sanford&son where she and here daughter were trying to fishin Fred and Lamont.

Ned the Wino (Raymond Allen): No explanation needed on this one as he played same drunken character on both shows.

Marion "Sweet Daddy" Williams (Theodore Wilson): He played a bit part in S&S as a mail deliver man which Fred refused to accept unless the letter had good news in it.

Alderman Fred C. Davis (Albert Reed, Jr.): He played the father of fat girl with $10000 dowry that Fred tried to unload on Lamont.

Lootin' Lenny (Dap 'Sugar' Willie): My name is Lenny….what a funny character. He played the theater manager where Fred’s brother in law Rodney booked an act.

Matthew "Stymie" Beard (former Our Gang child actor): Playing James’s friend Monty, he played Grady’s friend where Grady got too many social security checks.

Roscoe Lee Browne (shady televangelist Reverend Sam): Another friend of James on GoodTimes, he played as Donna’s patient on Sanford&Son. As a side not, he also played in a movie with James (John Amos) called World Greatest Athlete.

Hal Williams: As Mr. Mitchell, the father of Earl Mitchell, who is an art student of J.J.'s. He was also the policeman "Smithy" in S&S.

Thalmus Rasulala (Ernie Harris): a childhood friend of James with a gambling problem (he called James “Patches”). He also played a card shark in S&S.

Ron Glass (blind encyclopedia salesman): He played Lamont’s friend who just got out of jail.

I think I got all characters that had parts on both TV shows.

She was a real funny lady. After reading, she seem to have appeared twice on Sanford&son and GoodTimes. The two you mentioned, and also as horoscope reader for Lamont, and as parent meeting episode when Michael was in warlord gang.
