It was definitely “good times” as Janet Jackson and Kim Fields reunited at the Essence Festival in New Orleans earlier this month after not seeing each other in over a decade.
They appeared as children in the Good Times TV series in the 1970s. Janet starred in the show as Penny, and Kim made guest appearances as her friend in two episodes.
“We’ve been calling that ‘the hug heard around the world,’” Fields told E! News on Monday. “We hadn’t seen each other in about 15 years. And so, it was wonderful to see her, but we’ve known each other since I was 7.”
