From Good Times To Bad: Whatever Happened To The Cast Of Good Times?

Rember Willona?

Seasoned actress Ja’net Dubois was a fixture on Good Times as Willona Woods, the Evans family’s neighbor and Florida’s best friend. Dubois was cast in the show after Norman Lear saw her acting in a play at the Mark Taper Forum. The end of Good Times didn’t slow Dubois down, as she has consistently guest starred in numerous films and television shows from then, well into recent years. She even won two Primetime Emmys for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance in The PJs, a stop-motion animated television series that was co-created by Eddie Murphy, Larry Wilmore, and Steve Tompkins. She is still going strong at age 71 with three grown children.
