“Bookman’s” daughter, Sharon Brown as “Fun Girl” on “Good Times”

in the ‘Breaker Breaker’ episode. Yep you’re seeing this right, she is none other than “Fun Girl!” Remember she was the girl in the wheelchair who deceived Michael over the CB (The world’s first Chat Line…LOL)?

Her name is Sharon Brown and you’ve scene her on many shows and movies throughout the years, but one of my personal favorites was this “Fun Girl” role because I always thought that scene was monumental.

You’ve probably also watched Sharon in other roles. Remember she played the young “Louise” on The Jeffersons episode titled, “And the Doorknobs Shined Like Diamonds?” She’s also starred in other TV roles on A Different World (as the opera diva Angela, in the episode starring Gladys Knight) Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, the CBS soap opera Love of Life in 1971, and on the NBC soap, Generations from 1989 to 1990. Her film credits include movies such as A Chorus Line (1985), For Keeps (1988), Sister Act 2 (1993), What’s Love Got to Do with It (1993), Blues Brothers 2000 (1998) and Introducing Dorothy Dandridge (1999). Sharon’s also worked frequently as a stage actress on Broadway and on stage plays like The Wiz, Rent, Dreamgirls, and others.

“Fun Girl” is now 53 and get this…she is looking better than ever! She definitely gives a whole new meaning to aging gracefully. She’s now a fitness guru and her husband is also the child of a celebrity we all know. Her husband is…
