Can anyone remember the name of the actress...?

What was the name of the actress on Diff'rent Strokes that played Arnold and Dudley's teacher. I don't remember what season but her (real) last name was Kennedy. She was very pretty, long hair, African American. I already looked her up on imdb and they don't have her listed in the cast, but she was on several episodes.

I saw her a number of years back hosting a pageant or something on TV, she had gained a bit of weight and she appeared to have a bit of a shakiness, like maybe Parkinsons, perhaps.

Does anyone remember who I'm talking about? What's her first name?

Yes it was Jayne Kennedy.

The only condition that I read about her having is endometriosis but I never heard of that causing the shakiness.

But you never know.
