I respect people like Alaina and Luther Vandross for being such great entertainers but also keeping their private lives private. Just because they were entertainers does not mean they didn't have the right to their privacy like everyone else.
They do have a right to privacy but their privacy rights are different than “Joe average “ because of their fame… Their celebrity status makes them different…
@@Zimaala he contracted it from blood transfusions back then. A lot of people did sadly in those days. It wasn’t always sex , the blood supply back then was deadly.
I miss this period of seeing women like this on tv. They were uplifting and people who actually looked like me or people I knew. Her and Maxine Shaw attorney at law were my favs. Too bad this generation will not get to see how life was before hell opened.
Even though the focus was on Saundra, I always thought Rose (Alaina)was extremely talented and beautiful as well. Even as kid, I noticed she was serving body and her beautiful skin.
YASSSSS ❤ As a child l loved her on "Seasame Street' l always thought she was BEAUTIFUL 🤩 had a fantastic figure and that Voice 🎶 RIP 🕯️🕊️✨✨ Alaina Reed Hall 🙏🏾
Alena was very talented and very versatile and had a beautiful voice. She also was married in real life at one time to the guy that she married on the show 227. They look so cute together he's so tall and she's so little.
This woman was a part of my childhood. She was on every tv show and commercial from when I was a young kid, all the way until I went into the Marines. She was a part of American tv.
I love this show so much. Im 48 years old, gen x, gree up watching this show and many of them like it back then. I suffer with extreme anxiety and depression... I create my own little world by getting comfortable in my home and I watch these shows all of the time, especially 227! That show makes me feel comfortable and happy. I wish I could go back to these times a lot. Hope everyone stays blessed up ❤
She was so beautiful. She's always reminded me of my mom. I used to think my mom was on Sesame Street because they looked alike lol. May they both rest in peace ❤
Standing by someone's side and honoring them with the utmost care and respect when they are physically unable is the ultimate sign of true love. I hope I find love like that one day. Bless Mrs. Alaina's heart.❤
She was truly an amazing woman. I didn’t even realize she was the same person from 227 & Sesame Street and I grew up watching both. The 80’s were the last golden era for black women, when you could be your Natural self and still be considered beautiful enough to be a star. God rest her soul 🙏🏿
I was going through treatments and my "friends" and community were gossiping that I had HIV AIDS. I remember thinking I'd rather have hiv as at least I could take some pills and be better. You really learn who your friends are when you're sick and down. Seems she had wonderful ones
There is/was no rumor regarding Kevin Hall's death. He was very open about it in real time. We all knew what was going on and how he contracted HIV. Touki Smith's brother also passed from HIV related illness during that time. 227 was a forerunner in HIV Awareness. It was never a scandal or a question or a rumor....
AIDS and Cancer are so similar of how people go out. I always wondered if she contracted it before her husband found out because why keep breast cancer so secretive? RIP. 🙏🏼
@dii-N-sd I know that, but when I said keeping breast cancer a secret, I was referring to many who come forward to advocate for breast cancer. Not having to tell the public just because.
thank you SO much for this peek into Alaina's world. I so loved her as Olivia (i was born in 68) and even more as Rose (the first 2 or 3 seasons, I didn't like how they changed her character's appearance AT ALL, they also seemed to dumbed her down in the last 2 seasons). But her real personality always shown in her characters. She seemed very "what cha see is what cha get" and folks like that, to me, are just the best kinda people. No pretention at all. Her laugh was contagious and her singing, I'm really surprised she never cut an album. She could really blow on vocals! I'm still sad she's not here anymore. ROSE was and still is my fav on 227. I miss her dearly.
I hate that blood wasn't screened properly back then. I wouldn't want to have been a blood recipient back then. Thank goodness we have better practices now..
Exactly that happened to Arthur Ashe during open heart surgery he was given tainted blood so many people were infected that way or poked by nasty needles.

My preteen daughter and I met Marla Gibbs in person at a Boarders books store in Cleveland Ohio, while she was promoting her music CD titled 'It's Never too Late. At first, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, so I just sort of 'stared' at her for a few seconds, and then - when she gave her famous smirk - I KNEW IT WAS HER! I said, "Ms. Gibbs?" real timid like, and she replied, "Yes mam!" She and I talked for a few minutes, and I bought one of her CD's and we took a picture together, something that I still have and cherish to this very day. And yes, she is every bit as beautiful of a human being in person as she is on television (beautiful inside and out) and I adore her!
I thought I was tripping thanks so much for confirming that for me because it actually had me picturing Lester as being her husband and I just knew that seen didn't look right in my cartoonist ass head of mines and trust me when I say that I have a wild imagination 😂😂😂😂
This is a terrible video. You mixed up her gravestone with someone else who was born over 35 years after Alaina! Her on-screen boyfriend’s name was Warren, NOT Lester!
Wasn't He actually Harry AND the Predator?. He was darn near 7 feet tall! Everytime see those movies i think of Alana and Kevin being married .. Rose was my favorite on the show and i go out of my way to watch Harry and the Hendersons every few years ..❤❤❤❤
I've always love this woman from Seseme Street all the way to 227 and beyond,..... on 227 she was the thickest one, was draggin dat waggin.... we miss her so much ..... love you and thank you for sharing your love and laughter..... 😘😘😘.... 👍👍👍👍......

I’m confused with the date on the tombstone at 11:20; Oct 1981 to Jul 2009? I had to do some research and I’m really shocked that you would mix her date of birth and death with a whole different person; Alaina M. Reed from Syracuse.
She will always be remembered as a classy, talented and beautiful woman. I loved her on Sesame Street as a child and then on 227. She helped paved the way for women of color on tv.❤️
Y’all stay tryin to pitt black women against each other, both these women were beautiful and talented…there was no competition except for people who made it out to be …damn shame 🤦🏾♀️
I loved , love her so much for all she contributed to our culture and to us as people. She never fell short , was always perfect to truly see . Her talents were amazing and I send nothing but love to her family and friends as she really was priceless. Thank you for sharing her story , beautifully spoken !😘😘😘😘😘😘🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
The gravestone shown in this crappy video is not of Alaina Reed Hall. It’s for a young white lady. Just Google search “Alaina Reed 1981 Syracuse obituary”.
Rose Holloway was Mary's best friend and partner in crime sometimes. Lester was played by Hal Williams, Kevin Peter Hall character's name was Warren Merryweather or Merriweather.
I love 277 and I watch all the seasons on Hulu and before that as a young child I saw her on Sesame Street. I fond memories of her through the televison. I am just sadded of the fact, to me, from what I saw her last acting performance was in acell phone commerical for citizens . The cellpone/The cellphone company was called The Jitter Bug. Yes, she is missed. God Bless - Jason
huh? How is this a " conformation" when the information was CONFIRMED decades ago. This isn't new information. Theres a few things on this video that weren't true...or mixed up information. So weird. Really does feel like click bait.
I remember PBS airing the old shows and catching her on there . I'm a little to young to have seen her in real time and she was on 227 by the time I was born.
That’s so sad how he caught HIV from a bad blood transfusion and she’s a beautiful strong Loving Woman to stay by his side until the very end now that’s true love and courage. Loving Almighty sweet JESUS CHRIST bless their souls may they rest in Peace.

She seemed to be so happy and incredibly likable. This was a great tribute piece to her and her work has not been forgotten. I think we can all appreciate how down to earth she really was. Thank you for putting this together. She will always remain a part of my childhood.😢☺️
HOW DID THIS SHOW HAVE LOW RATINGS IT WAS ALWAYS ON OUR TV GROWING UP! ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS EVER MADE!!! RIP
Very well said all facts!
Same way all the popular black shows was canceled in 80s 90s 2000s because of so-called low ratings 🤔🤔
Simply, it’s not White, so it’s not promoted like theirs
Still running today, ratings can't be that low
Cast filled with beautiful black ppl and funny as heck! Definitely didn't get the recognition it deserved
I still watch 227 till this day .❤ 😊🥂🍾
Me too. Love it
Me too!

Everybody doesn't like to broadcast the health problems to the masses. Some patients prefer to maintain their privacy similar to Chadwick Bosman.
Many cancers are HIV related. Perhaps HIV wasn't wanted to be known as part of her legacy
