Hemsley got his big break on "All in the Family." His character, the wise-cracking George Jefferson, was so popular, that Hemsley was soon g iv en his ow n sp in o ff. "The Jeffersons" ran for 11 years and had one of the best, most beloved theme songs in television history.

H e m sle y ’s role on “T he Jeffersons” was a landmark. As Entertainment Weekly put it, George Jefferson was the “first black char acter presented as an arrogant, in tolerant bigot -- the black Archie Bunker — George was also one of TV’s first upper-income blacks, ap pearing nearly a decade before 'The Cosby Show' began its own long run.” He got his start on Broadway, where he was noticed by legendary TV producer Norman Lear. It was Lear who convinced Hemsley to take the role of George Jefferson. For better or for worse, Hemsley was associated with the role for the rest of his career. In recent years, Hemsley ap peared on "The Fresh Prince of Bel- Air," "The Surreal Life," "Family Guy," and "Tyler Perry's House of Payne." He had no wife or children.
