Sanford and Son - A Visit from Lena Horne 1-3

[Button1964]

Look at those sleeves

[Button1964]

Just me and the Horne...lol

[popstar12002]

I love they all look at him when he goes "Heeeeeeeeeeeres Johnny" LOL!

[adamdicy]

They did shoot scenes at the NBC studios for this episodes, but once Fred stepped into Lena Horne's dressing room, it resumes where they film Sanford and Son.

[bossyboots55]

gosh look at the 70s fashions !

[yashemam]

this is tha nicestttttttttttttt tv comedy eva keeps ma company every night

[thepianoboy2011]

everyone thinks that Redd was older than Lena but Lena was 5 years older than him that just goes to show how natrually beatiful she was

[tom11zz884]

Lena was too fine for words...lol

And this is when she was in her middle age years...lol

[jga665]

Lena's parents were both black & so were her grandparents..Black & black makes black. That's what she considered herself. I'm just about the same complexion as Lena, but don't consider myself mixed. Both my parents black and so are my grandparents.

[tom11zz884]

@jga665 You are correct...but does that even really matter...really?

[jga665]

@tom11zz884 It doesn't, I was responding to a comment.

[ZeppelinWolf87]

funny thing is redd had a crush on lena in real life thats wat makes this episode so special

[joejoewest]

The tour guide in the orange dress is Joan Prather, who went on to play on Eight Is Enough. She played one of the kids' (David, played by Grant Goodeve) wife.

[killercam411]

HERE'S DUMMY

[darkconversationist]

she is pretty 4 a white woman,2 bad she had harley any black blood n her.

[TheFattHatt1943]

That chick is HOT

[MONEYAINTATHANG100]

BEAUTYS' PROMISE To My GENTLEMEN.....Shhhhh

[cuttock]

@mozmex

Yeah, you hit it on the head.

[DominusLuna]

Sammy Davis Jr was very black but he had mob-friend ties. I remember all this power to the people while they stood there waving signs and not getting jobs and doing zero good and complaining when the only thing holding them back was themselves and this false notion from the democrats that their skin color was a detriment.

[staf0626]

if that aint the diggest bunch of bull crap i ever heard. so u mean to tell me that the president before obama, the one that took us from a surplus to over a trillion dollar deficit, got us invloved in 2 major wars, has nothing to do with america's current state? ur entitled to ur opinion if u think he's a bad president then thats ur opinion. but there is no way u can convince me that he is worst than bush. u have to be the blindest person in the world to think that.

[iiidol]

@staf0626 Believe me ...he is NOT "blind" ...in fact IF he were "blind" his views would be much more realistic. IF he were blind he would not see nor be stuck on 'color' as he obviously is. A blind man would see clearly that BUSH destroyed this country to the point that God himself would have to call upon miracles to fix it. But because he is NOT blind he is unable to see that because he only sees that a BLACK man (not half) is trying to fix the quagmire left by Mr BUSH. (It's typical rhetoric)

[staf0626]

I do agree that some democratic views are socialistic but islamic?? Since when were islamic views or wills part of any american government?

[staf0626]

i also believe that everyone has the right and ability to create the life they want and doing something is better than blaming everybody and everything for their current state. the only one holding them back is themselves. however, ur statements (@DominusLuna) give the implication that everyone has the same opportunities and the same obsticales which is not the case. back then the color of ur skin was an issue, it was a huge obstacle for some people. and u can continue to be blind if u want to

[DominusLuna]

Lena looks really really white when she strolls in and finds Fred using her powder puff. Performers seemed to break the racial barriers but race never would have been an issue if the democrats hadn't started using black people as a political tool and a vessel to implement their socialist/islamic will on the country. A black man is driving our country into the gutter and the black people don't care because the liar in charge is half-black and they think that he represents them. Well He doesn't.

[DominusLuna]

Half-black is a winning combination for girls. We have a half-black prezident (in name only) too. Real black folk (like jessie jackson and al sharpton are still the useful idiots) and will always remain where they are never getting real power in the liberal party.

[jga665]

@DominusLuna She's actually not half black, she actually came from two fair skinned black parents that also had fair skinned black parents.

[MsKimmova]

@mozmex Culturally black means nothin, if she werent biracial she would never have become an Icon, u can be as talented as u wanna be, if u look like u jus stepped outta Ghana much arent interes0ted, ask India Irie

[jga665]

@mozmex she actually came from two black parents...but remember that thing called slavery?

[MrSluggo666]

Who is this little jewish woman ?she isn't black ! the blackest thing about her was her car! did you see it? what a pimpmobile!

[parkerxjr]

we are all mixed momex , some more than others

[parkerxjr]

we are all mixed momex , some more than others

[originalmatchgame]

Makes me wish I had " arthuritis "

[whb1965]

[fcrwfrd1]

[GenaWindstarr]

there was an episode later on, lena wasnt in it and i dont remember the title. but everyone thought fred had 6 months to live and they set up a party and a date with lena for him. i wish someone would find and upload it.

[jaydiarae]

Lena: You mean to tell me you paid to see "Stormy Weather" 38 times? Fred: Nah, I only paid once. I went in Sunday and came out Wednesday. lol! God I miss this show!

[jaydiarae]

[RetroVideoFan]

This episode first aired on NBC on Friday January 12, 1973. At the time, Sanford and Son ranked at #2 in the ratings. In fact, the only show that earned higher ratings was All in the Family.

[candyon22s]

[globehunter2]

Now they are both together in that cabin in the sky, Lena and Fred had

been friends in real life i,m sure. But Lenas passing truly hit me hard

and still it seems like a dream. May she live forever.

[lovie2000]

What are you doin' in my dressing room......

[lovie2000]

"The Horne" I'm coming to join you honey, but I hope you don't mind the Horn on my arm....

[usa02]

R.I.P. Lena Horne 1917-2010 and Redd Foxx 1922-1991, we all miss both of you!

[MsTexas73]

One of my favorite eps of Sanford and Son. Thanks for posting it.

BTW...the tour guide is best known for her role as Janet, David's wife/esxwife who was the attorney on Eight is Enough. She was also in Big Bad Mama.

[jerkeem4]

lena horne was truly a legend back in the day she will be highly missed redd foxx will be so happy to see you again then you can hear him call you "THE HORNE" R. I. P MS.LENA LOVE YOU

[mike404]

Bet Redd Foxx was one of the first ones to meet Lena at the Gates

[dabighen]

@mike404 Absolutely! He was TRULY a fan!

[confusion719]

Lena Horne is a classy lady... and this is classic television. They don't make 'em like her or this anymore.

[specialk68]

R.I.P.  Lena.

[Tsuruta1]

As anticipated,as I write this comment, they are showing this episode on TV Land.

[surfitlive]

Ironic or Comic Genius

(BY GOD?) that Foxx died on a set via heart attack, after all those years of "faking it" for laughs!! People nearby probably thought he was jesting or rehearshing!

R.I.P. Mr Foxx and Ms Horne, people/talent like you are hard to come by.

[antoinec822]

r.i.p. lena norne 1917-2010

[BrooklynEagle]

5:00...my, my, my...that woman was a true beauty. And she kept her beauty while staying so busy throughout her awesome career. Yep...Lena will never be forgotten. And I don't believe in all of that "god" jive and religious hocus pocus...but, I'm very sure Redd is somewhere making Lena laugh her ass off right now. :-) R.I.P., Miss Horne...

[LEONLAMONT1974]

she was in her late 50's when she did the all natural God bless her

[38106chick]

Lil' Lame Lamont -- ROTFL... You will be missed, Ms. Horne.

[FloridaMan1973]

They sure made me laugh. I loved when she was on the show. She was a beauiful person.

[Jayonesgirl]

REmember the 70's!

[allTRIPLE1]

Redd Foxx always showed love to Lena Horne.

May they meet again.

[EricHopeSF]

What an ABSOLUTE STUNNER she was... My goodness...

[mkl62]

Lena, you will be one of the all-time greats. Like Dorothy Danridge, you had to face a lot of racism in your career, but you held your head high through it all. I will never forget this episode of Sanford and Son that you were in. Lena, you gave us so much. We love you and miss you. We will never forget you.

[MarkieG100]

R.I.P Ms.Horne

[markberg]

A great loss.

[brittneyonline]

R.I.P Lena..

[wattever333]

She's 5 years older than him.

[stevevandien]

Sheez. If I ever had the good fortune to be in the same room with Lena Horne, I'd probably have the same reaction as Fred:) ---

[JJJBRICE]

Ms Horne was an amazing looking woman at age 55. The tour guide was played by Joan Prather.

[blackbelt66]

that tour guide is one skinny sexy ass white girl

[Maverick662]

There's an episode I'm looking for, where Fred and Lamont is getting their furniture repossessed, and Fred pretends like the man pushed him down the stairs. What's the name of that episode?

[Msmanard08]

@Maverick662 its called The Great Sanford Siege

[Maverick662]

@Msmanard08 Thanks

[William82oct]

Lena was so sexy and that tour guide in the orange was sexy too! Man in those days women were drop dead gorgeous.

[sodeserving]

Fred finally got to meet Lena after lusting after her for all those years. How cute.

[EJB74026]

Lena turned 92 June 30. She was born in 1917

[sdseals2076]

@EJB74026, I absolutely love her and wish I could meet her.

[missbirdie05]

Wait a minute, if my calculations are correct, Lena Horne must be in her 60s at the time of this episode. She don't look 60ish to me! She looks good!

[robdagun]

Ms. Horne was in her mid to late fifties! And yes... she looks good!

[airjor1]

She was 54- 55 years old. She is now 92. This episode was from 1972.

[Central85]

was sanford and son on cbs

[usa02]

No it was on NBC, it ran from 1972 to 1977.

[priscillaofmanila]

Very Funny.

[outlaw36]

thank you for this episode. its one of my all time faves. great post Mynjunkyard!!

[chicaastuta2002]

Lamont was always so uptight!!

[onemooners]

@chicaastuta2002 he sure was

[crumblycake1969]

"That most be flip wilson's oil!" LOL

[blacqueangel80]

Heeeeeerrrrrrrre's DUMMY! LOL

[smmackey]

Lena Horne is very beautiful and this is one of my favorite episodes

[adamdicy]

Definately, and it's featured in Season 2 which I bought this past weekend as well as Season 1. I like when Fred "You hear that Elizabeth, I'm coming to join you honey, with Lena's puff in my hand" those heart attacks made the show, true comic gold.

[orationi]

I have been waiting for this episode for months...Thaaank you.

[eyeonwashparish]

MILF! But seriously, Lena Horne is a beaut in this episode. Amazing body.
