Gorgeous black beauty of the 1970s, Rose Fonseca born Rose Marie Cooper had the potential to become one of the top actresses of TV and movies but for whatever reason she didn't attain the status in the acting field that audiences would have liked her to. Rose Fonseca graced the small screen with her striking beauty, dimpled smile, likable, charming, alluring presence, and her warm, heartfelt, natural acting which made her unforgettable on such shows as "Good Times," "What's Happening," and "Days of Our Lives." Rose gained recognition in commercials and on the legendary television shows "Good Times" and "What's Happening," where she had minor parts and leading lady parts, but whether big or small parts, she had an everlasting appeal that is still felt today. Rose's excellent performances in "Good Times" and "What's Happening" won her a part as Valarie Grant on the longevity hit soap opera "Days of Our Lives" but she only appeared for a year and then suddenly disappeared from the small screen.The performances Rose did leave behind are enjoyable classic television moments that are still enjoyed this day through re-airings on television and on DVD and she's very much remembered by classic TV fans, especially by fans of "What's Happening" that have called her the most beautiful of all the girls to appear on the show and easily Rose is one of the most beautiful women on television in her time and definitely one of the top ten most beautiful black women of the 1970s in show business. Rose Fonseca certainly was a true representation of black beauty that was in vogue in the 1970s. Hopefully more information will surface on this beautiful, gracious actress because she's certainly a credit to her race and the acting profession. Hide
