A spokesperson for John Amos said Monday that the "Good Times" star is fine and "in good spirits" after his daughter claimed last week that his life was "hanging by a thread."
In a phone conversation with the Los Angeles Times, Amos' longtime publicist, Belinda Foster, said that the 83-year-old actor is at a Memphis, Tennessee, hospital recovering well after doctors found some fluid in his lower body and drained it.
"These are his exact words," Foster said Monday. "He said to tell you thank you for reaching out. He really appreciates your support, and he appreciates his fans and everyone that's concerned. He said to let everyone know he is with his son and he is OK. And they are going to share more information at the appropriate time."
