*Sadly, we must report on the demise of another Hollywood legend. One of the primary characters on “Good Times,” non-other than Ja’Net DuBois, was found dead earlier today, according to TMZ.
Of course, DuBois will always be remembered as the Evans family’s sassy neighbor Willona Woods on the classic ’70s TV series.
Her family says Miss DuBois died unexpectedly in her sleep overnight at her home in Glendale, CA.
As of this posting, it’s not clear who discovered her body Tuesday morning. Supposedly hadn’t complained of any specific ailments in the recent past, and she appeared to be in good health to those around her. She even attended a fan event in Hollywood a couple of weeks ago.
