Fans of the classic sitcom are reeling — and now, her former co-star Martin Lawrence has broken his silence with an emotional response that’s hitting fans right in the heart.
A Sitcom That Defined a Generation
Before Martin became a household name in the ‘90s, Lawrence was a young up-and-coming comedian who landed a role on What’s Happening Now!!, the revival of the hit ‘70s sitcom What’s Happening!!. Danielle Spencer, who reprised her role as Dee Thomas, was not just a castmate — she was part of the on-set family.

“Rest in peace, my friend. You were a light on and off the screen. I’m grateful for the time we had and the memories we made. Love always.”
The post has since been flooded with thousands of comments from fans, co-stars, and celebrities paying tribute to Danielle’s legacy.
Danielle Spencer’s Journey
Danielle was more than just a child star. After her time on television, she went on to become a veterinarian — proving that her talents extended far beyond Hollywood. She also became a motivational speaker, openly sharing her personal struggles and triumphs to inspire others.
In recent years, Danielle faced serious health challenges, but she continued to embody strength and resilience until her final days.
An Outpouring of Love
Following Martin’s post, tributes poured in from across the entertainment world. Co-stars, industry friends, and fans alike shared stories about Danielle’s kindness, quick wit, and the lasting impact she made on those who knew her.
Social media has been flooded with clips from her most iconic scenes, along with heartfelt messages from viewers who grew up watching her.
A Legacy That Lives On
Danielle Spencer may be gone, but her spirit will forever live in the laughter and joy she brought to millions. For Martin Lawrence, her passing isn’t just the loss of a co-star — it’s the loss of a friend who was there during the earliest days of his career.
As fans continue to grieve, one thing is clear: What’s Happening Now!! may have ended decades ago, but the love for its cast — and for Danielle — will never fade.
