Ja'net DuBois dies at age 74: Good Times actress, two-time Emmy winner and singer passes away in her sleep

Actress Ja'net DuBois has died at the age of 74.

The two-time Emmy winner passed away unexpectedly in her sleep Tuesday night at her home in California, TMZ reports.

DuBois is best known for starring in the hit 1970s sitcom Good Times, but she made history with her earlier role on the CBS soap opera Love of Life - becoming the first African-American actress to have a regular role on daytime TV.

She starred as Loretta Allen on that drama between 1971 and 1972.

Didn't remember who she was on the show. Googled her name and her picture reminded me of Rachel Dolezal...RIP...
