Remembering Demond Wilson of Sanford and Son, Catherine O'Hara of Schitt's Creek, Yvonne Lime of Father Knows Best, and TV Director Bruce Bilson
Actor and author Demond Wilson, who starred as Lamont Sanford in Sanford and Son, has died. He died of complications from cancer at his home in Palm Springs, California, on January 30. He had been suffering from prostate cancer. Mr. Wilson was 79.
Wilson was featured in several Broadway and off-Broadway stage productions before moving to Hollywood. His first credited role on television was as Horace, a burglar, with Cleavon Little as Coke in the 1971 episode of All in the Family titled "Edith Writes a Song". He played Simmons in a 1971 episode of Mission: Impossible.
Wilson starred as Lamont Sanford in the 1972-1977 NBC sitcom Sanford and Son. The series follows Fred G. Sanford (Redd Foxx), known for his bigotry and cantankerousness, and Lamont Sanford, his long-suffering, conscientious, peacemaker son. It was a hit through its six-season run, finishing in the Nielsen top ten five times. Recurring cast members included Slappy White (1972), Don Bexley, Noam Pitlik (1972), Hal Williams (1972-1976), Beah Richards (1972), Gregory Sierra (1972-1975), Nathaniel Taylor, LaWanda Page (1973-1977), Whitman Mayo (1973-1977), Lynn Hamilton, Howard Platt (1972-1976), Pat Morita (1974-1975), Marlene Clark (1976-1977), Raymond Allen (1976-1977), and Edward Crawford (1976-1977).
He next starred as Raymond Ellis in the short-lived 1978 CBS sitcom Baby... I'm Back!, which aired for 13 episodes. The series follows Raymond Ellis, a irresponsible gambler who returns to Washington, D.C. after seven years to win back his wife and children. He discovers he was declared legally dead and must compete with his wife's new fiancé and interfering mother-in-law. The cast included Denise Nicholas, Helen Martin, Kim Fields, Tony Holmes, and Ed Hall.
Wilson starred as Oscar Madison in short-lived 1982-1983 ABC sitcom The New Odd Couple. It was an updated version of the 1970-1975 ABC sitcom The Odd Couple. In this series, Felix Unger (Ron Glass) and Oscar Madison were both African-American college buddies who met in the 1950s. The characterizations were still the same, as Felix was a prissy neatfreak and Oscar was a fun-loving and sloppy character. The cast included John Schuck, Bart Braverman, Jo Marie Payton, Liz Torres, Sheila Anderson, Ronalda Douglas, Telma Hopkins, Christopher Joy, and Marvin Braverman.
He guest starred in two episodes of The Love Boat in 1979 and 1981. He had a recurring role as Kenneth Miles, Lynn Searcy's (Persia White) biological father, in four episodes of the UPN sitcom Girlfriends from 2004 to 2005.
Wilson guest starred in a 1981 episode of Today's F.B.I. on ABC. He starred as Agent Ed Schamper in the 1983 comedy-drama film Me and the Kid. Some of his other film credits included The Organization (1971), Dealing: Or the Berkeley-to-Boston Forty-Brick Lost-Bag Blues (1972), Full Moon High (1981), and Hammerlock (2000).
He served in the United States Army from 1966 to 1968 and was in the 4th Infantry Division in Vietnam, where he was wounded. In 1984, he was ordained as a minister in the Church of God in Christ and was an active Christian evangelist for much of his adult life. His memoir Second Banana: The Bittersweet Memoirs of the Sanford & Son Years was released on August 31, 2009.
Mr. Wilson was funny and memorable as Lamont Sanford. He had great chemistry with Redd Foxx and the other cast members. We thank him for his service and for his work on television. He will be greatly missed.

Moira Rose is an eccentric former soap opera star, with a firm commitment to glamour and a fierce belief in her own celebrity.

O'Hara's role earned her a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series in 2019 and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Musical or Comedy in 2021. Her performance earned her six Canadian Screen Awards for Best Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.

She starred as Delia Deetz in the horror-comedy film Beetlejuice (1988). She starred as Kate McCallister in the blockbuster comedy film Home Alone (1990) and its sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992). She frequently collaborated with Christopher Guest, acting in his mockumentary films Waiting for Guffman (1996), Best in Show (2000), A Mighty Wind (2003), and For Your Consideration (2006). Some of her other film credits included After Hours (1985), Heartburn (1986), Dick Tracy (1990), Betsy's Wedding (1990), The Paper (1994), and Wyatt Earp (1994). Her portrayal of Temple Grandin's aunt in the HBO film Temple Grandin (2010) earned an Emmy nomination.
Ms. O'Hara was a talented and funny actress. Her television and film collaborations with Eugene Levy were always entertaining. We thank her for the many laughs and entertainment that she brought us during her legendary career, which spanned over 50 years. She will be deeply missed.
