A couple of days ago, my husband and I discussing old movies and tv shows. We were wondering what happened to the young lady from Cooley High or maybe it was Claudine(Tamala?) who said "...he was teachin' me how to hold my liquor". Where is Rodney Allen Rippie? And what happened to the Sylvers? Also, I lived 5 blocks from Michael Carter from 'Good Times', and I haven't seen him since 1981 or '82. Where is he?

Sterling,
The sister you were referring to ("He was teachin' me to hold my liquor..."), her name was TAMU, not Tamala, though TAMU may have been short for Tamala ??? She was in Claudine, not Cooley High, so you are right about that. There is an old EBONY magazine article that explains what happened to Rodney Allen Rippie. I'll pull that up for you if you want.
As for Micharl Carter, his real name is Ralph Carter, Michael was his charactor's name. There was an E! True Hollywood story last year talking about Good Times, and he was interviewed. While I do not remember the specifics, I can say he is doing very well.
There is a website I can pull up about these folks, and I will get back to you on some answers.
