‘Jeffersons’ Actor Dead at 74
Actor » Sherman Hemsley, best
known for his role as George
Jefferson on "All in the Family" and
"The Jeffersons," has died at the
age of 74 of natural causes at his
home in El Paso, Texas.
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. Follow-

FRIDAY NIGHT AT 7PM
Services will be held at
New Song Com m unity Center

Comer of NE MLK Blvd & Russell Street in Portland
ing the end of the "Jeffersons" run,
Helmsley starred in another sitcom,
"Amen," in which he played the
paternal Deacon Frye.
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.
