She was truly underrated. She both wrote and sang “Movin’ on Up” (“Jeffersons” theme) while starring as Willona on “Good Times.”

Both had huge impacts, but I bet you now have her singing that theme song in your head right now! What a blessing she was.

Yes, she was the funniest character on Good Times, in my opinion. What a shame. I guess she has moved on up to that deluxe apartment in the sky.

Agreed, and I think she just brought a fun attitude to her character. Lit up the set.
