Rani DuBois
- Actress
The beautiful, petite doll who was an uncredited extra on such shows as
"Good Times" and "What's Happening" was a face known but name unknown
for many years, she stood out more then any other extra in the late
1970s on television because of her beauty, charm, and aura, who's that
girl or what's her name questions will now cease because now fans of
"Good Times" and "What's Happening" can put a name to the face, she is
Rani DuBois, daughter of one of the most lovable character actresses
Ja'Net DuBois, who's best known as Willona from the legendary
television show "Good Times" and singer of the legendary television
show "The Jeffersons" theme song "Movin' On Up." Starting in 1976, Rani
was an extra on various episodes of "Good Times" but it was on "What's
Happening" where Rani got an opportunity to show her potential as an
actress, from 1976 to 1979 she had significant parts as a student,
cheerleader, and as a date, but she's best remembered from episode
"Shirley's Date" as Maxine who threw a cup of punch in Dwayne's face
for breaking a date with her. If anything Rani's one of the most beloved extras in
television history and her contributions to the legendary television
shows "Good Times" and "What's Happening" are enjoyed and appreciated
because she had the talent of making her presence known with her
magnetic aura, doll-like beauty, and charm that exuded on the
television even in small parts and as an extra without lines.
