She surely is what a great lady!

[@kashack80s]

One of the most hilarious actors of all time. Her comedic timing and delivery were always perfect.

[@modaljazz59]

👍🎉❤

[@wisdomseeker3362]

Dr. Danielle Spencer . A beautiful woman, heart and soul. I'm so happy she can walk again. She has been through so much pain, mentally and physically. She deserves everything beautiful that life can possibly give her. ✝️🛐

[@micheleellis4074]

That show is better than anything out there today.

[@thebaxman4459]

You're not kidding.

[@marklampkin2907]

Both of yall are drunk.

[@sooverit3376]

I enjoyed the show a lot.

[@StrongnBeautiful]

@@marklampkin2907 Why would you even be here?? 🤨🤔

[@Ready2ReadU]

Dr. Spencer-Davis, not only do we love, love, LOVE you, but we are praying for you as well. God's peace n blessings upon you as you continue to honor God with your gifts and your faithfulness.

[@shaaronsimmons6677]

[@jaym5118]

What's Happening is timeless. It's still such a great show.

[@mariogiresi6792]

True. Kids watch it today and still laugh. The humor never gets old. We need more shows like that.

[@freedomhigh2160]

What a WONDERFUL woman she is, I love her and glad to see she is successful, smart and a doctor to our precious companions ! 🤗🥰. Wonderful personality ! I smile listening to her 🙂

[@danielwells6319]

"Ooooh...I'm tellin' Mama!!!" I have the complete series on DVD. I love "What's Happenin'?" Roger, Re-run, and Duane were always getting into trouble. My thoughts and prayers are with Dr. Spencer and I hope she has a speedy recovery. God bless.

[@bqkmg2037]

Shirley Wilson was my favorite

[@swanjackson1211]

Very beautiful successful black woman.

[@deemoe7301]

She's such a sweet person!

[@sooverit3376]

I’m so proud of her. So awesome as the clever younger sister in What’s Happening, but to be a doctor. She’s an awesome human being! And hasn’t aged a day! She looks amazing. Mabel King is smiling down at her from heaven. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💕💕💕

[@jdsrcs8061]

What's happening and the Jefferson's are still 2 of my favorite shows all time!!! Dee was one of the best characters of all the shows of that era!!! 👍👍👍

[@thecatman4ever]

Danielle Spencer is one of the greatest child actors ever! God bless!

[@pjpj3416]

Yes!! She played that character like no other, Dee was such a wise child too. Loved her

[@StrongnBeautiful]

I can go with that!

[@reneebraxton1032]

Yes!

[@Juliet_Capulet]

I LOVED the character of Dee. And what a beautiful and accomplished person she is now.

[@MrJajabanks21]

When are they gonna make a movie about her lifes trials and tribulations!...shes been thru alot and yet here she is a veterinarian!...amazing woman

[@kenyattasimpson7649]

So incredibly proud of her

[@anthonycbrown1952]

Whoever guided her should be praised. You have a woman who rode the highway of stardom but got off at the right exit. You can see in her attitude that she enjoyed her acting career but successfully closed one chapter and opened another. This is how to dot it! Forever a fan. Buy the DVD set of the series, it is well worth it.

[@RemoWilliams1227]

Someone has recently uploaded all 3 original seasons to KZbin recently and I've been binging I have to admit. The unsung about what's happening is great too.

[@liviz40102]

She's such an inspirational soul, god bless her

[@redwatch.]

What a lovely person.

[@robinbrl]

Congratulations Danielle. I am just seeing this. You deserve this. Best wishes to you lady.

Yeah, She has Multiple Sclorosis on top of that.

[@queen_of_domination]

@@rodney1279TheFlip Wow! I didn’t know that. She’s such a strong woman. God bless her.

[@jenniferhake8388]

[@lindaeasley5606]

My whole family got a kick out of Dee whenever we watched What's Happening 👍

[@ShawnC.T.]

She's wonderful...

[@anglejohnson3857]

[@dei-wan-grey3888]

Dee is all Grown Up and looks Wonderful Dr Spencer 👍🏽👍🏽

[@craigdavis4265]

Oooh I'm telling mama!!!

[@caesar349]

I got to meet her a few years ago at a convention. It was the best experience ever. She is the sweetest most beautiful soul

[@james8343]

She announced on the Queen Latifah Show that she is a Veterinarian!!

[@atlasking6110]

How can you not love Dee. Ooooh Raj you're in trouble!

[@IAMMOVIN4WARD]

Such a beautiful woman! 👩🏾❤️

[@shawnoverton7625]

I miss what's happening bring it back on television please thanks from shawn Overton. It is a really awesome show.

[@micmaliss]

I just started watching What's Happening again and she is beyond hilarious.

[@scorpion777silvermoon3]

I loved that show

[@rizmiz120]

Love you Dee ! God Bless

[@mariogiresi6792]

Mable, like Ester Rolle, had a certain warmth and charm that I sadly miss in many of today’s actresses and their characters. We’ll never see TV writing again like we had in the 1970s.

[@magnumss]

Nothing but love for the amazing Danielle Spencer ! ... I used to watch what's happening right after school when I got home and must have seen every episode. It was back in the day when shows had meaning and always provided a lesson to learn from. I have a special place in my heart for every cast member. It is wonderful that she became a veterinarian!! I do animal rescue and have the same passion for animals as she does, I love them all .... It's wonderful to see her doing well !!!

[@dianam9028]

I've been watching What's Happening lately. The show never gets old. I love that she became a veterinarian, because I love animals too!

[@idreona]

God blessss u Danielle An icon ......

[@anglejohnson3857]

yes she was a cutie pie on the show but now she is beautiful!!!

[@traceygrant3386]

Congratulations I loved her as Dee on what’s happening.

[@rosedevereux2391]

[@bigvalley4987]

Wow the last time that I heard about her. She was literally on her last leg. God Bless you Dr. Dee🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@SS-ok8re]

Beautiful!

[@Dickens58]

She seems like such a lovely person. I loved What's Happening!

[@J.letsTalk]

This is priceless

[@fliptriproll1527]

Several of the stars from What's Happening literally went through hell and passed away at a young age. Dee's a real fighter!!! I would love to meet her someday. Mabel lost both of her legs and an arm because of diabetes and died young. Shirley died at 52 at home from kidney failure and Freddy died at 52, as well. He was home recovering from a stroke but his death was listed as natural causes. They were a huge part of my childhood and it's a damn shame their lives ended so young!

[@tabposey]

I just love her. I hate she has been going through for so so many years. She has an awesome attitude.I have MS and alot of other issues. So I understand . But I love her heart and you can just c how kind she is. I pray for her. People like this , that have the most sincere heart should b healed.

[@JadeTheWolf1982]

I keep thinking of a Quarter and Peanut Butter!

[@unclebrother6244]

Haha! Classic Dee!

[@latashaspivey1152]

Oh! I remember it! Rerun alone! Then comes DEE! OH! YEAH! You were all great the legendary Momma, seen her some but a great impression!

[@feliciajenkins5041]

That's the girl. I always begged my mother to do my hair like Dee's.

[@niabelizaire3596]

Dr. Spencer is so amazing! 💜

[@latashaspivey1152]

I'll definitely, look for it in D.C. Next time I'm there.

[@latashaspivey1152]

When you see a ⭐! HER PERSONALITY SHOWED IT IN THE SHOW! THANKS!

[@princedarius7224]

Black dont crack....see how smooth her skin is for 1/2 a CENTURY

[@Michelle-pn9xt]

Why couldn't you simply say that she looks nice, instead of looking for a strange way to call her old? It is okay to give a black woman a real compliment.

[@bobbyhayden1517]

she still pretty much looks the same

[@pjpj3416]

She does, she just needs better makeup for some of her visible scars. I'm so very proud of her, she's been through so much. She is such a huge inspiration. 🙏💪❤

[@adrienneflowersscott9290]

Congratulations Queen 👑🎉🎊🎈🎈

[@jeremiahwoodsi4202]

Wow Dee I allways had a crush on you even though you were too old for me I'm 45 now if not for my Grey's you'd think I was thirty

[@1986Glory]

They should do a reunion show of what’s happening

[@drewmitchell3221]

I'm Feel Bad That She Didn't Have Her Own KZbin Channel.

[@mckinleycason8884]

Hope she charges her clients more than a quarter!

[@slipnorris5882]

give it to him mama

[@nenawilliams-solomon3386]

Congratulations!!!

[@reesedaniel1629]

She looks the same!

[@morty215fightclubbringyour7]

It's crazy to think she was in a car accident during the time she was on what's happening and the car accident killed her stepfather and she was severely injured still made it out congratulations

[@FreddieCuellar-p2l]

Love her!!! She was a little smarty pants on the show!! LOL!

[@vickiemckay4259]

Sister Sister DADDY🥰❣

[@gabrielleivie4585]

Not going to lie she’s a lot different from the show but I understand it was just a role she played

[@raymary2343]

Dee was the best

[@Classy4514]

Danielle is so pretty ❤

[@theresawebb1968]

She's from new york I saw she was from the new jersey.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@bridgetgregory3876]

I wonder if she is still getting 'hush money' such as a quarter from Raj so he won't get in trouble with mama😂😂😂 if he comes in late on a school night

[@myworldproductions]

Danielle should have mentioned something about little Earl.

[@sophisticatedmm3632]

Hilarious
