And to tie two threads together, Roxie Roker was Lenny Kravitz' mother, yes?
Let's get right to it.

Just "the Jefferson," singular: Weezy's gone, too.  :(

No idea about Paul Benedict, though.  Or Ned Wertimer (Ralph the Doorman). Or Zara Cully (Mother Jefferson).

Paul Benedict was the British guy.  

I'm fascinated that Franklin Cover got a longer RIP thread than anybody since Wilson Pickett.
