      She should have been on the Jeffersons as Mrs Jefferson, The Angles wasn't ready for no black woman they did go over the idea, but somehow it didn't happen. They should have made her Florida Evans.

      @agoogleuser402 11 месяцев назад

      She was too glamourous for that role on the Jeffersons. I always thought an alternate show with all black angesl would have been cool. At the time Shari Belefonte Harper and Jayne Kennedy were considered but ultimately the suits decided the audience wasn't ready for a black angel - there loss as the show steadily declined as key figures like kate jackson left. @@rondothard1698

      @VernaCunningham-sz9uz Yes , she was very popular. I recall seeing her appearing on Johnny Carson and daytime talk shows in the 70s as well. She and Sammy Davis Jr. toured together, and we're close friends in the 60s . Entertainment was fun and somewhat innocent back then.😊
