He Was Hollywood Next BIG STAR, Now Jimmie Walker’s DARKEST SECRETS Come To light
Jimmie was born on June 25, 1947, in New York's tough South Bronx neighborhood. His ambitions were not originally to entertain. Basketball was his prime interest but the idea that a gawky, stringbean-framed teenager could become a hoop star did not seem realistic. Instead, he abruptly quit school and worked an odd assortment of jobs until wisely returning to night classes at Theodore Roosevelt High School and redeeming himself with a diploma. The federally-funded Search for Education, Evaluation and Knowledge next came through for Jimmie as he was able to learn a trade: radio engineering/announcing. Within a year he was hired as an engineer for a small radio station, but gained a minor reputation on the sly as a funny guy and good writer. This side interest is what motivated Jimmie to try comedy performance.

So sad indeed. Good Times was my favourite Norman Lear sitcom and especially thanks to Jimmie. 😢

Walker's JJ character was the worst thing to be shown on television as an example of a young black teen and adult. Will Smith almost revised the same type of bafoonish black teen male character in the Fresh Prince of Bellaire. Unfortunately, there is an animated series of Good Times that sinks the sitcom even lower.
