I loved that show and every single actor who played in it. One of the greatest sitcoms ever, maybe even eclipsing, "All in the Family." I'm feeling a little sad since I heard the news.

She was a great actress, may she rest in peace.

[MMM]

Sad news. Love The Jeffersons. I didn't realize she was that old (86), though I knew she was older than Sherman Hemsley. Rest in peace... :angel:

Wow, she was 21 years older than Sherman Hemsley! I guess it's a tribute to both of them that they always seemed a convincing couple.
