    The way Fred and Esther were on screen, you would never know that they were good friends in real life. Redd really fought for her.

      redd foxx was one of the first people to put all of his friends on when he made it big. he was friends with pat morita, gregory sierra, bubba, leroy & skillet, and esther was literally a life long friend. the next person to do that was richard pryor

    • @GreenLine4444
      @GreenLine4444 3 ปีที่แล้ว +46

      They were really close friends. They knew each other as kids when they went to school together in St. Louis. And when Redd got into trouble with the IRS in the 1990s, he called LaWanda several times for help. People tend to think that because they fought so much on Sanford And Son they were not friends. They were very good friends, they were doing nothing but acting.

Something about when he was a kid and he went to where they were filming "CHiPs," and he stood near the front of the crowd and yelled hello to Erik, and he felt that Erik brushed him off or ignored him. That's the version I remember from his show when he had Benjamin Pratt pose as Ponch and he made fun of him.

      Love love love be Lawanda as Aunt Esther. She brought so much fun and laughter to that show. Her performance enhanced everything Redd For did. She was the perfect foil for his character. She was actually really attractive and a sweet loving daughter in her private life.

      Lewanda Page was a sweetheart, a wonderful character actor. I also heard sang as well. With all her successes, she was a gift from the Man upstairs. She made me laugh and laugh as she did everyone who watched the show. She was the greatest and will not be forgotten.
      👍😂🤣♥️ Beautiful person as was the entire cast. Peace...
