Dee, Florence from The Jeffersons, Aunt Esther, Willona Woods, Mother Jefferson and Sophia Petrillo were definitely the shadiest comedy queens of all time!
I always watched What’s Happening in the 70’s. It was really a good show and Dee Thomas was superb. I read that she was in a very serious car wreck and she was very badly injured. I pray 🙏 that everything goes well for her.
I love Dee. The DVD set is worth the price to see Dee at her best. The writers really excelled at balancing out the breakout moment for Dee while not overpowering the storyline (unlike Good Times and J.J.).
It took me years to appreciate the young actors. Spencer seemed like bad acting. But I came learn she had great timing & mastered dead pan humor like much older people. And she never broke character & made a blooper. And all those lines they had to remember! Alot of work for young people
Come on, maybe I’ll give you. some of her one-liners are may that way, but they were written to be dead pan one-liners. Watch the clip starting at 9:25, and tell me that’s a zombie like delivery. She is hilarious in that scene
