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 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.

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.

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.
