From the July 27, 2012, Chicago Tribune by Rob Marker.
A Look at Who's Still Around from These Classic Comedies: Jeffersons, Diff'rent Strokes, The Andy Griffith Show, Gilligan's Island, The Honeymooners and I Love Lucy.
THE JEFFERSONS (1975-1985)
The death of Sherman Hemsley (George Jefferson) this week leaves just Chicago native Marla Gibbs (Florence the maid) as the sole remaining major cast member.
The actors who played George Jefferson's wife, Louise or "Weezie," (Isabel Sanford, mother Olivia, (Xara Cully), neighbors Tom and Helen Willis (Franklin Cover and Roxie Roker) and Harry Bentley (Paul Benedict) have all passed as has one of the two actors to play the Jefferson's son Lionel (Mike Evans).
The other Lionel, the unrelated Damon Evans, is still alive, as are the actors who played Lionel's wife and Willises' daughter Jenny (Berlinda Tolbert) and Ralph the doorman (Ned Wertimer).
Next: Diff'rent Strokes. --DaCoot
