AKA:
Bern Nadette Stanis
Beautiful and multi-talented Bern Nadette Stanis was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. At the age of five, her grandmother took her to tap dance lessons where she began performing. She began acting after a play she was in during high school entitled "The Three Faces of Eve." She graduated with honors from Erasmus High School and was accepted to Julliard School of Performing Arts where she received her BA in Drama.



Bern Nadette was picked out to read for the role of Thelma in "Good Times" while she was competing in a beauty pageant. She is known all over the



… More world for her role as Thelma in one of the funniest (and few) sitcoms featuring an African American family. She remained with the show through its ups & downs all seven seasons. Her beautiful face, singing and dancing ability, and sharp 70's responses to Thelma's annoying brother JJ, made Bern Nadette an "it" girl and sex symbol of the 70's.



Bern Nadette lives in California with her two daughters, Dior Ravel and Brittany Rose Cole, and husband Kevin Fontana.
She loves to dance, sing, and she has authored poetry and relationship advice books.

    THELMA: A DAMNED GOOD FRIEND. hide show

    So happy to have become good friends with Bern Nadette. We've taken a lot of pictures together, as well as we've sold many books together. I SWEAR she is the FEMALE RELENTLESS! Especially after this past weekend; the convention, the karaoke bar, the social club after that! There's never a dull moment, and she's connected to everything related to the 70's and old school. So, I'm right where I need to be (beside Thelma!) You can check out many of the pictures we've taken as well as videos I've produced on my facebook page www.facebook.com/relentless.aaron "Thelma" has also appeared on Relentless TV which you can find thru a search.

    I love her as a actor and as a author, she has written a few books and contributes to the African American Community. hide show

    Keep it up Mrs. Stains, I have watched good times since the begin as most of you. I can attest to say that in the begin her acting needed a little bit of work but as the show went on her acting got better. She is very under appreciated for her work as an actor.
