Bern Nadette Stanis is still gorgeous!

[@jimmyboyzable]

She most certainly is and it is so incredibly HARD to believe that she is 70 years young now 🌹😊❤️

[@MotivationXcelleration]

Absolutely

[@juliansearcie1758]

Damn 70 ? Got to get my mind right she's still stunning

[@blessedone-tv5vc]

Yes , she is so sweet I met her in person at a book signing at the military . I’ll never forget the moment …

[@dw3675]

I know Ms. Bern Nadette Stanis can’t be 70. She looks fantastic

[@lareinelester685]

She has amazing youthful legs like Tina Turner had. She looks young in general but especially her legs lol. Black woman magic imo.

[@SparkleInYourEyes2024]

​@@lareinelester685Its not Black woman magic. Its taking care of yourself. Notice Thelma has never been overweight. She was a professional dancer and they are known to be very physically fit.

[@lareinelester685]

@@SparkleInYourEyes2024 My mother lived an average life with no special diet but avoided sugar and looks 20 yrs younger than her age. So do a lot of women in my family. Science says melanated people especially black skin ages 15-20 yrs slower than non melanated skin. So black woman magic still has a lot to do with it. It's an advantage whether people choose to accept it or not and I didn't need science to tell me what I see all around me.

[@SparkleInYourEyes2024]

@@lareinelester685 You still need to take proper care of yourself. Just being Black is not going to cut it. Whenever I go visit family in the South I am amazed at how big and fat a lot of the Black women are. Even the young Black girls are horribly overweight and they look old for their age because of the weight. That proves my point that taking care of yourself overrides having dark skin.

Born a white kid in 1970 I grew up watching these primarily black cast shows like Good Times, Sanford and Son, The Jefferson’s and not having any thought's about color. I was raised that we are all unique individuals, fellow Americans. In 2024 I’m saddened by our world now but stay optimistic about our future. ❤️✌🏼🇺🇸

Agreed. I loved Leave it To Beaver, All in the Family, Eight is Enough etc. We all watched these shows and enjoyed them. Can’t forget Rockford Files

There’s nothing wrong with thinking about race though. Black culture is a part of American culture, a beautiful irreplaceable part, a significant contributor. 🙏🏾🌟

[@ericasmith5054]

John Amos was amazing

[@AlmondJoie]

And in _Coming to America_ as the iconic Mr. McDowell. So far from the iconic James Evans, Sr., it was nice to see him portray a wealthy business owner of his own fast food restaurant. Also, it was great seeing him share the screen once again with two iconic stars from _Roots,_ James Earl Jones and the late Madge Sinclair (as their Royal Majesties, the King and Queen of Zamunda).👑👑
