She will always be remembered for Justine Phillips on The Cosby Show and Myra Monkhouse on Family Matters.

I had the biggest crush on Myra when "Family Matters" was putting out new episodes. I even got mad at Steve Urkel for continuing to carry the torch for Laura. I remember thinking, "You're smart enough to build robots and cloning machines, yet you can't see a good thing when you have it?"

That sentiment was shared by young men across this country. Michelle was disarmingly beautiful but truly seemed almost angelic in the way she carried herself. Malcolm Jamal Warner has spoken like that about her, Jaleel White has, the cast members on The Young and the Restless her last major acting role...same thing. No one has ever had less than glowing things to say about her. And I'm not surprised. Her aura was just...different.

@Underground Guy No, there's plenty of reason to compare them, because they both played Steve's love interests.. The reason Laura's character gets so much hate is because she was a B to Steve... who was a sweet boy... Myra loved him and accepted him for who he was, not Laura. If the actresses switched roles, the one who plays Myra will always get more love... especially from us nerds who can identify with Steve, because we never got the hot girl in HS, either.

That was beautiful! Jaleel tells a very touching story and truth, in his own words.

I'm sure "a lot of opportunities to sell her soul to the Devil to start climbing a little faster" means casting couch/Weinstein situations. The actors who go along with that stuff sometimes get ahead and we see them on the big screen...actors who refuse usually disappear into obscurity. This happens way too often - to women *and* men in the industry. I'm glad we're taking a moment here to remember her; she didn't deserve obscurity.

I’m sure that’s a part of it but I’m sure he means literally selling her soul to the devil. This world is more spiritual than you think....... even Katy Perry said it in an interview light heartedly. Yet she was telling the truth..... and tried to down play it

Her beauty as a person resonated through the television screen. What an angel of light! We will never forget you, Michelle. ❤️

May She continue to rest in Peace. I remember when I found out she passed away. I was so heart broken . Im glad ppl have good memories about her. That will live on

He's absolutely right about the "opportunities to sell her soul..." . Then you think about the "Cardi B's" of the world today. It's a shame

I ❤️ seeing her in her episodes, she just radiates wonderful energy...I was so shocked to hear of her passing

I loved how he said Ms Thomas wasn't that girl to sell her soul .she was a real Gem .im glad today we have black women and black men in power all the devils are getting canceled , cancel culture is not all bad lol she is part of a legacy of women who did the right thing and never gave into the slim jerks of the past .she worked ,had her pride and her beautiful soul was still pure she will never be forgotten RIP

Thank you for sharing this candid interview Jaleel; I've always loved Family Matters and every actor. This is the first I've heard of Michelle's illness and passing. May she RIP.

I love this show. Grew up watching it and the characters/actors were amazing. So sad she passed away. I think all these actors were so innocent and good people that they didn't have the need to desire more ambitious to peruse a life long career in Hollywood, most 80s and 90s show actors were simple people but very talented.

It’s the not selling her soul for fame and fortune for me 🙏🏾 rip Myra aka Michele Thomas you kept your dignity 🕊

Jaleel your a good human being. God rest Michelles soul... I almost started crying😭😭😭

She was gorgeous girl, I was a young kid, early teen when this show was on, and I found out maybe 15 years ago she passed on.

i remember when Theo from 92.3 the beat here in Southern Cali ( they're no longer on air ) broke the news about her passin, a lot of people were hurt an that broadcaster cried so hard u couldn't help but cry also

We were watching a family matters rerun in Toronto summer of 1999 at a restaurant when Myra appeared everyone including the waiters were giving her a standing ovation like tears shed and so many napkins were used she is so loved even Canada

True Story. In the 90s when I was a dancer on Soul Train and she was a guest host, I actually got the chance to dance with her and she was actually really nice and a truly big smile. I wish I could find that episode.

Bless her heart for continuing the struggle instead of selling her soul. She will always be loved and admired for her talent and her strong spirit.

She was amazing. I remember her from a casting call and girls were mean back then. They didn't even speak. She did.

She will forever be a legend and I personally felt like she would have got in urban black community with amazing talent I can only Imagine the roles she would get God bless her I remember when she past it just didn't feel real still sometimes doesn't

This guy was a genius child actor. I hope he is doing well. Its a terrible shame that Michelle Thomas died at such a young age. So sad.

LOVE this, and LOVE you all for posting this. Thank you. 🖤

Wow, I am glad he shared this. I always loved seeing Michelle Thomas on the screen as a kid. Rest in Power Michelle

That's What's Up ! 👑 MICHELLE didn't sellout like MOST of Us(INCLUDING regular 9-5ers) HAS over a dam 💵.

Michelle Thomas, Aaliyah and Lisa Left eye Lopez was it for me. It’s in the eyes. It something about those eyes that shows you the purity of their soul. R.I.P to you all.

Oh what fun we had watching you all grow...thank you...her time was enjoyed by so many!..

Well done Sir.. Thank you for your expression and compassion for your coworker. Love your empathy and sympathy. Understood.. Thank you again.

Even though I never had the pleasure to meet her, I find myself missing Michelle. I feel like that says something about the kind of unique, incredible spirit she was.

I remember michelle on the young and the restless she was a great singer. She sang Natalie cole's song inseparable on y&r and it was perfect. Michelle is one of the most beautiful women i'd seen on tv. I still miss Michelle. She was a great actress.

Wow... This is really deep... I'm sure she is smiling down watching over him

Yo his comment about Michelle was the realest..., you can leave it at that🔥🔥🔥

Growing up, I never understood how Steve was smart enough to clone himself, but not see that Myra actually loved him.

because he still loved Laura. Didn't it even get to the point to where he cloned himself and created Steve for Myra and Stefon for Laura?

Good video, as is this whole series of interviews with Jaleel White. Although personally, I think a more appropriate title for this video would be the loss of Jaleel White's and Michelle Thomas's innocence. :)

Had a big big crush on Myra...... it really hurt when she passed... one of the prettiest girls to ever grace a TV screen

She didn't sell her soul to the devil, she held true to her morales and values. A beautiful young lady gone too soon

he is so handsome and a great spirit. You can tell he genuinely loved this lady

Did not know she passed she was a incredible actress 🙏🏽🏁

Amen she didn’t go down any corrupt paths.. may she Rest In Peace

I loved his character, and after seeing these interviews, I kinda love this man as a person, too. Thanks for this!

Jaleel is so honest and solid. RIP Michelle🙏🏾. Thank you for your smile and thank you for all the great memories! “She refused to sell her soul” 🙌🏾

TV has really cast a spell on the way we perceive these actors outside of their roles.

Michelle Thomas was gone way too soon she was pure magic 🎩✨

She was my crush for real for real... good to know that she was beautiful on the inside and out

So nice to hear this..

Every time someone speaks about this beautiful soul it's always good & positive things said. I'd like to hear Malcolm Jamal Warner talk about her.
