My favorite scene with Myra was when she said "Laura Winslow get your hands off my man". She was so beautiful and a great actress.

You know what, she lived life to the absolute fullest. In the span of 30 years, she accomplished what most would've dreamed about. I'm proud of her.

If Michelle Thomas hadn't passed away, she would've made it to the next level of starring in movies and become one of the greatest actresses of all-time. She had the look, the talent, and the charisma to do it.

I also remember her as Theo's girlfriend Justine on The Cosby Show. And who can forget Theo's blues song... Justine Justine!🎶

Her mom, family & closest friends still honor her memory. What a Beautiful spirit she was & still is. RIP Michelle

She was 10 years older than Steve and Laura and still looked younger than them.

Myra was such a hilarious and memorable character. She had this Harley Quinn charm to her and the lengths she would go to be with Steve was insane like following him to space! RIP Michelle Thomas

I truly adored her, she really had that IT factor. She's with GOD now.

Malcom Jamal Warner took her death so hard. That's why his show was canceled because he became angry and difficult to work with. He has since apologized but ppl understood that he was grieving the loss of his best friend Michelle.

I am glad they always shout her out and remember her! You can tell this really affects all of them!

Thank you so much for having the cast talk about Michelle. Its quite heartbreaking that she cried and told Reginald she's sick, no one knew just how sick she was. None of them got to say goodbye but I love that they can honor her now by remembering just how talented she was. Rest in Peace Michelle, you are missed!! I can't believe she would have been 51 years old! How time flies. I still remember hearing of her passing, she had such a promising future and was on Y&R. Gone too soon!

She was so beautiful I hated that she died so young it really broke my heart.

She was beautiful. Her and Laura were my 90’s crush.

I watched this show for Michelle and Thelma. I was shocked when I learned she passed. She seemed like a natural actress and liked acting.
