    Whitney did not star as herself in Gimme A Break. In the one episode in which she appeared, she played Katie's friend named Rita. She did however appear on Silver Spoons as herself.

      @Tony McNeil true however Whitney nearly starred as Sondra Huxtable on the Cosby Show and actually auditioned but didn't want to commit to the role as she feared it would interrupt her music career!🤗📺🎤⭐

      @chitownphxman Год назад +1

      I remember, Nell did a voice-over right before the first episode of the new season following his death, and they did it live to show the raw emotion from the cast.
      I read Dolph died 2 weeks before the final episode of the season aired. They decided to scratch the storyline when Julie ran off, and just had her already married when the new season started.
      If you're wondering, or unaware of how he died, it was stomach cancer.

      @@chitownphxmanActually Dolph died 3 days before his final episode aired and his funeral was a few hours before the episode aired. I’ve read that Nell Carter gave the eulogy at his funeral.

    Well at least in this video they talked about the main cast with the exception of Whitney Houston because in most of the previous videos when they talk about the cast that dies from TV shows they name me talk about the guest stars and try to portray them as the main cast but in this video they actually talk about the main cast who died like I said with the exception of Whitney Houston rest in peace to everyone cuz this was one of my favorite shows

    Whitney Houston did not appear as herself in 'Gimme A Break!', because technically, at the moment, she wasn't "Whitney Houston the superstar " yet. However, one year later she was, and played herself on 'Silver Spoons". 😊

    Whitney did not appear as herself. She was a friend of Katie’s who went into the boutique business with her.
