According to Google, Bebe Drake was born in 1954. Meaning she was in her TWENTIES when she portrayed Sweet Daddy's girlfriend and Larry's Mother on Good Times... Get out of here, Google, no RUN out of here Google! Bebe looked to be in her FORTIES during her time on Good Times, not in her TWENTIES....

BeBe Drake was born in 1944, not ‘54…Google is so wrong.

I knew Google was off.
But Bebe Drake STILL looks old for having to have been around 32 when she appeared on Good Times the first time. She looks more like she was born in 1934 and not 1944. But for some strange reason, she looked age appropriate when she appeared on Martin in like 1994. She was around 60 and looked about 60 when she was on Martin. But in a way, her characters get screwed up. In Good Times, JJ painted a horrific looking picture of her, her young Son almost fell to his death in an empty elevator shaft, and in Martin Gina gave her a perm without neutralizer, making her mostly bald!
