Where Are They Now? The Cast of “227”
Helen Martin
I know I’m not the only one who has seen Helen Martin in every hood movie there is, but before she got really caught up in ish like Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood and I Got the Hook Up, she was uber-nosey Pearl Bailey on 227. The neighbor who stayed sitting half outside of her window, spreading the gossip around with Mary and the other ladies. After the show ended, she did a lot of movies, including the TV movie, Something to Sing About, Bulworth, and Kiss the Girls, however, Martin passed away in 2000 at the youthful age of 90.
