Why Did Esther Rolle Always Wear Orange on Good Times?

It’s so weird that she wore orange on Good Times. It was her character’s color, but why did she have to wear orange on every episode? I remember that the other actors on the show were in their natural colors, and they never had to wear orange.

I think it’s because Esther Rolle is a very talented actress who knew what she wanted to do with her character. She played the part with such heart and soul that you couldn’t help but be drawn into her character’s life. She had such a great sense of humor that I don’t know if you can find another actress who could have pulled off the same character as Esther Rolle.

In contrast, I didn’t like Pam Grier as Honey. She seemed too much like a bad girl to me. She was a great actress, but I didn’t see any of the charms that Esther Rolle brought to her role.
