Ja’Net DuBois’ Death Certificate Lists Cab Calloway As Her Biological Father
Leave it to Ja’Net DuBois to, even after her death, still manage to burst through the front door with some juicy gossip to share. And because you’d be hard pressed to find a classier lady walking in your front door with gossip, it’s about herself. Ja’Net, who played Willona Woods on Good Times (and co-wrote and sang the theme song for The Jeffersons) died from cardiac arrest last month. Details of her death certificate have just been made public. According to TMZ, Ja’Net’s biological father is listed as Cab Calloway. Yes, THE Cab Calloway. And apparently, this was news to everyone except her closest family. Makes sense to me. Just like Cab, no one was ever catching Ja’Net outside of the house not looking perfectly coiffed, fitted and smooth as hell. I guess they didn’t call Cab “the king of Hi-De-Ho” for nothing!
