Loved little Penny, and of course, we know her crazy story.

Of course, we know that Janet became an international superstar thanks to her music, but she still did her share of acting. Right after “Good Times,” she had a role on “Diff’rent Strokes” as Willis Jackson’s girlfriend, and later on the show “Fame.” Her movie work, which has been…okay…included Poetic Justice, Nutty Professor II: The Klumps, the Why Did I Get Married? franchise, and most recently, For Colored Girls.
