She made the show, "What's Happening", in the late 70's.

RIP Danielle.

Indeed. I watched that show all the time! She had all the best lines, and she had the best dry delivery. Raj’s little sister.

RIP Danielle

I watched that one semi-regular. Average show. Danielle was the smart-mouthed “Danny Partridge” of the series. Not a great actress, but she was just a kid. They can’t all be Billy Mumy, Patty McCormack or Ronny Howard.

Rerun died years ago (given his weight, no surprise). I thought the actor who played Rog was fine. Dwayne’s character was a little too vanilla to know what was there. He just entered and said a sing-songy “Hey HEY Hey”. The mom was pretty hefty, like a lot of the black actresses in the matriarch role (That’s My Mama, Florida on Good Times). There must have been a real shortage of Diahann Carroll types.

moved on from acting to become a veterinarian

I knew she had a brain but still hated that show. And the title is a question, not an exclamation. That's the other part that always bothered me.

Dang, Dee ...

The original "What's Happening" still holds up. The reboot, "What's Happening Now", with nearly the same cast, is painfully 1980s and nearly unwatchable.

Dee Dee died. Damn. Rest in Peace.

Used to watch the show in syndicaton when I was a kid.

Dukes of Hazzard was another.

[silent_jonny]

The show had an all black cast, set in 70s, but had no political agenda. It's only goal was to be funny.

Good to see at least one child actor escaped Hollywood and had a normal life. RIP.

While I never saw a single episode of this one, I did see Amos & Andy.

Friends (1995)

Chandler notices Ross staring longingly at Rachel.

Chandler: "Could you want her more?"

Ross: "Who?"

Chandler: (sigh) "Dee, the sarcastic sister from 'What's Happening".

Family Guy (2006)

Local News: "We now return to 'Native American What's Happening'"

Roger: "Hey, Re-Run. Have you seen Dwayne?"

(Zoom out to a wide shot. Dwayne walks into frame.)

Dwayne: "How, How, How."

[TexasFreeper2009]

nearly every cast member has died now

[montag813]

That was such a great show. Dee vs. Roger. Shirley vs. Rerun. Rerun asking the Doobie Brothers "Which Doobie you be?"

So good. RIP, Dee!

Unfortunate. 60 is pretty young (by my standards)

[ifinnegan]

Funny show.

Classic.

[Kid Shelleen]

Anybody remember the movie “Whats Happening” was based on?

[ArcadeQuarters]

Saw an interview with her. She seemed smart and down to earth.
