EspañolBERN NADETTE STANIS
'Bern Nadette Stanis' (born December 22, 1953) is an American actress best known for her role as the strong-willed Thelma Evans on the CBS sitcom, ''Good Times''.
Stanis played middle sister Thelma on ''Good Times'' from 1974 to 1979.
One of Stanis' most recent television appearances was on the hit UPN sitcom, ''Girlfriends''. There she appeared as the cousin of quick witted Mya Wilkes played by Golden Brooks. In the episode, William Dent (Reggie Hayes) expressed a strong desire to meet Thelma from ''Good Times''. Mya revealed that Stanis was indeed her cousin and that she would arrange a date with the two (in real life, Stanis is married). The date was held in the popular hangout, Skia.
Will repeatedly referred to Bern Nadette Stanis as Thelma and talked about her ''Good Times'' family as if it were real. It initially upset her and after she "set Will straight," they decided to go on with a normal date. After a moment of silence, both Hayes and Stanis realized that there was not much to talk about, so she eventually started a new conversation as Thelma.
Stanis was born in Brooklyn, New York. She graduated from Erasmus Hall High School in 1972.
Stanis has two daughters, Cheyanne and younger sister Brittany Rose.
Stanis' father is Terrence Redd, who is married to Kathleen Bradley, a well-known longtime model (as well as the first African American model) of TV's ''The Price is Right'' game show.
