Title: RIP Sherman Hemsley
Post by: RGMike on July 24, 2012, 02:40:39 PM

Star of The Jeffersons and Amen was 74. Which means he was roughly 20 years younger than Isabel Sanford, the woman who played his wife Weezy. A dee-luxe apartment in the sky, indeed.

and of course he was a "lifelong batchelor", nudgenudge winkwink.  Maybe he'll be outed posthumously like Sally Ride.

The Peak, which has a Sunday nite "anything goes" show (reminiscent of KFOG's old "Adventure Hour") is promising to play something from one of Mr Hemsley's LPs. (yes, he sang)
