Being on 'Good Times' was the first time I was around a group of people that wasn't my family.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I grew up in a great family.
When I grew up, my family, we sat down, all of us to watch 'Good Times,' 'Sanford and Son,' all those shows that were out at that time.
My years on 'Family Matters' were precious to me. During the run of the show, I saw many births, deaths, weddings... The actual family on the show became my family.
When I was young, I grew up in a family of working-class people. Not just my parents, but my extended family, as well.
My mom and dad - they were always there. They were always on the set. They focused on our family life. The entertainment business wasn't the end-all. They weren't out to get the next big paycheck or the next big movie. It was about 'What can we do as a family.'
A lot of people think I grew up with just my brother and me, but mom was there even when she wasn't. We had a good household.
My childhood was very gregarious, and I was usually surrounded by close family.
My family was perfect.
In 1977, at age ten, I was cast on the TV sitcom 'Good Times.' My character was Penny, an abused child in desperate need of love. I really didn't want to do the show. I didn't want to be away from my family.
My family was very unorthodox. My mother was very eccentric and amazing. She always treated us like adults.
