Hollywood is grieving yet another heartbreaking loss. Beloved child star Danielle Spencer, best known for her unforgettable role as Dee Thomas on the iconic sitcom “What’s Happening!!”, passed away Monday at the age of 60.

The devastating news was shared by her longtime friend and co-star Haywood Nelson in an emotional Instagram tribute.

“Dr. Dee, our brilliant, loving, positive, pragmatic warrior, without fail, has finally found her release from the clutches of this world and a body,” Nelson wrote. “We celebrate Danielle Spencer and her contributions as we regret to inform her departure and transition from a long battle with cancer.”

Fans who grew up watching “What’s Happening!!” remember Spencer’s sass, her quick wit, and her now-iconic catchphrase: “Ooooh, I’m gonna tell Mama!” She brought a realness to Dee Thomas that made her one of the most loved sitcom characters of the late ’70s.

After the hit series ended, Spencer didn’t just fade away from the spotlight. According to The Hollywood Reporter, she pursued her passion for animals and earned a doctorate in veterinary medicine — proving she was just as brilliant in real life as she was on screen.

This loss hits especially hard for TV fans, coming just weeks after another gut punch — the passing of The Cosby Show star Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Warner, beloved for his role as Theo Huxtable, tragically drowned off the coast of Costa Rica on a Sunday, according to Costa Rican National Police. He was just 54 years old.

With both Spencer and Warner gone in such a short time, it’s a heartbreaking reminder that the faces who made us laugh, cry, and grow up glued to the TV are more than just characters — they’re family to generations of fans.
