In her 6-part oral history interview, actress Isabel Sanford (1917-2004) discusses her early years growing up and her entrance into live theatre. She speaks about her move to Los Angeles and her roles on stage, as well as her first TV appearances. She talks about being cast for a one-time part on All in the Family, which led to her casting as Bunker neighbor, "Louise Jefferson." Sanford discusses the spinoff, The Jeffersons and her later work appearing in guest roles on situation comedies and commercials.

  • i always loved her,she was soo sweet in her life...R.I.P. GIRL!!!

  • She was 21 tears older the Sherman Hemsley

  • She was right........what a disservice to The Jeffersons to NOT give them a "closing" show like the others.....I love Isabel Sanford!

  • She seems really old here. You can tell, in comparison to the equivalent archive interviews for Sherman Hemsley and Marla Gibbs. Both are much younger than her.

  • She was like family for people in general, not just black people. I grew up watching this show, and I loved these characters as if I really knew them. When Ms. Sanford died I felt as if I had lost a family member, but I can't be greedy- AMERICA lost a member of the family when this amazingly talented lady left us!

  • I love Isabel Sanford. God Bless her. I remember her guest appearance on Bewitched as Aunt Jennie when Samantha was sent to the old south by another witch.

  • The Jeffersons is my all-time favorite TV Show. Why is her eyes almost closed? Right now she'd be about 92...yes, I really miss her. For every black person, she is part of the family. RIP

  • wow her voice is deep

  • did you see that look she gave in 29:08 lmao!!! r.i.p ms sanford you are truly a classy lady
