OLD HOLLYWOOD SCANDALS - Sherman Hemsley! Twisty Rumors Make it Make Sense🧐😵🧐

[@tanishalevi1450]

So I actually happened to live in El Paso Texas in the community that Sherman hemsley actually lived in we would often see each other in the Albertsons on George Dieter where we both frequently shopped and my niece is actually went to school with his God children whom he would take to school everyday and pick up every day so to answer your question no there was no hostage situation LOL and he didn't seem to be a recluse or seem like someone that was being taken advantage of or in desperate need a friend he was always happy-go-lucky he was reserved but he would hold conversations with people that weren't fanning out but if you just talk to him like a person he would talk to you.

[@AshleySaysSo20]

I pinned this so it can help everyone understand because whew! I didn't know what all of these rumors meant!

[@Yardman74]

I agree with you Ms. Levi, I saw him in the mall once and I didn’t approach him, I just nodded “hello” an acknowledgment and went on about my business.

[@Ty-wy9he]

If only Sherman Helmsley could have been more like George Jefferson in his real life and not allow people to take advantage of him.

[@seanpowell1661]

FYI: Alot of Jeffersons' fan may not know this but, Isabel Sanford was 20 years older than Sherman Hemsley. YES, ISABEL WAS OLD ENOUGH TO BE SHERMAN'S MOTHER in real life. Isabel was born in 1917 and Sherman was born in 1938. However, we could never tell because she looked so youthful. Their television chemistry was so strong, you couldn't tell she had that many years on him. In my opinion, Isabel Sanford is PERFECT example of "Black don't crack". 🙌

[@Ricobaca]

They had that gray power in his hair. And of he had a George Jefferson hairline so he looked older than he was.

[@seanpowell1661]

@@Ricobaca exactly! They grayed Sherman's hair to make him look older. In reality, he was 11 years older than Mike Evans aka Lionel #1.

[@pagandeva2000]

I knew that. It showed their talents to me because they played an awesome couple!

[@rheeryder2524]

And on Good Times, Esther Rolle was older than John Amos. 😮

[@Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles]

When I learned about that age difference it just made me sit right down and think about that lol. Because Isabel just didn't look like she was any older than Sherman. Oddly, if you see her in the movie "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" and then a year or so later, an appearance on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," she actually looked older on those shows than she did on "The Jeffersons." So that woman was aging in REVERSE! And when I look at the later seasons episodes I'm even more impressed because there was some fairly physical comedy that she performed- in this way, Isabel was a lot like Lucile Ball because she did some VERY physical comedy that even people half her age wouldn't try. Only thing difference is that like you said: "Isabel Sanford is PERFECT example of "Black don't crack".

[@galchino8100]

If they ever make a FR biopic on Sherman, I think Katt Williams would play the hell outta that role.

[@ssshadowwolf6762]

Except doesn’t Katt have issues with “ gay” themes? He seems to be homophobic.

[@mariahyohannes]

@@ssshadowwolf6762 yes

[@LULOHANFYAH]

Katt Williams might be good for one of those "The Jeffersons Live Before A Studio Audience" shows that Jimmy Kimmel and Norman Lear co-host but I would not want to see him in a Bio-Pic. Katt could totally mimic the character of "George Jefferson" but I don't think he could play Sherman Hemsley. As Ashley has so excellently laid out, Hemsley had a lot of sides to him. Katt is a great comedian, but I have not seen him take on a complicated lead character in a movie. Out of respect to Sherman Hemsley, who was a Broadway star and a TV Icon, I'd rather see a more experienced actor take on the role of telling his life story.

[@mariahyohannes]

@Young Nina Simone Katt is homophobic.

[@jeremyallennossette6426]

I actually used to have a lot of great conversations with Mr. Hemsley at a location near the airport in El Paso, TX we'd have a few drinks together and you could always see him going to Albertsons he hated people calling him George he was always very reserved and looked very sad when people would call him George. He was a fantastic man and wether or not the gay rumors were ever true he was nothing but a kind and generous gentleman. R.I.P. Sherman

[@pysq8]

Interesting bc the only time I saw him irl was at an airport. Can't remember where, I was a child... But my mother was with me and got her feelings hurt bc he was not in a friendly mood.

[@jeremyallennossette6426]

@@pysq8 I'm sorry that you and your Mother had that experience and it's very possible he might have been having a bad day, but he was very reserved and shy most of the time and really was uncomfortable with Fame I guess you can put it. Sherman was very private but I personally apologize that that was your experience. If you had maybe meet him at a different time or place perhaps it would have been a better experience.

Many celebrities seek fame due to low self-esteem & insecurities, but are really good at wearing a mask for others.

GETTING THAT BAG!!! I AM SOOO HAPPY FOR YOU, MISS ASHLEY!!!🏆🏆🏆🏆AND THANKS FOR THE SHOUT OUT!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@JOVIJOLEE]

Aw man I hate that for him, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he was being held against his will. I saw a doc that said he was always sweet and inviting to his neighbors tho, so at least he had some kind people in the end.

[@teonaneal8911]

It’s definitely sad the things people do for money exactly other people’s money.. I hope he’s finally resting in PEACE! Seems like he didn’t have that nor love.. It’s hard being a genuine person in a cold world. R.I.P 🙏🏽❤️

[@vibrant1992]

Just what I need on my day off. Much appreciation @Ashley SaysSo. Keep dropping content.

[@IJustCant-jj2rv]

I always wanted you to cover Sherman Hemsley. He seemed kind of odd. But he was without a doubt, he was the KING OF THE SLOP, BABY!

[@aliciag946]

This whole thing was just sad! If taking kindness for weakness was a situation... smh! I hope wherever he is, he has some peace.

[@roadrunner381]

Thank you Mr. Hemsley for making me laugh and enjoy myself, I really appreciate your work as an actor, Good bless you, may you rest in peace!

[@witnesstoitall1144]

[@kuroe-chan5190]

Loved some Sherman Hensley. Had no idea he wasn’t big on George Jefferson’s character. Wow total polar opposites but he did so good. I always and could be tough thought he was rough but it dad make the character interesting

[@jazziccoolcat]

Ashley SaysSo! This is jazziccoolcat. I noticed you mentioned that T.V. producer, Norman Lear wanted to find a husband for Isabel Sanford's character. However, what was not mentioned was that Eric Monte (T.V. writer and creator of sitcom "Good Times" and the movie "Cooley High") helped to create the characters George and Louise Jefferson.

[@brendaholman3835]

Don’t forget, the character, Lionel Jefferson, who played the son, was also, a Co-creator, of the show and good times. Michael Evans, was his name. Norman Lear, stole, so much from these two black men. Mike, also, starred in All in the Family. Their involvement in creating these wonderful comedy’s, was, overshadowed, by Norman Lear. He got all the money and all the credit. So unfair.
