Isabel Sanford, who died Friday at 86, did not have a lot of well-known roles on her résumé.
But no, not "Louise." Such is the power of TV that we knew her for the rest of her life as "Weezie," the affectionate nickname that her otherwise cantankerous husband bestowed upon her.
Sanford brought strength, sweetness and an undercurrent of sex to the role: Weezie wasn't fooled by George, but she loved him just the same and was obviously attracted to him.

Long before Bill Cosby started wearing his friendly sweaters, urban middle-class African Americans burst onto television in the form of Louise (better known as "Weezy") and George Jefferson, portrayed by Isabel Sanford and Sherman Hemsley.
Set in a high-rise apartment building in the heart of New York City, the show spun around George, a classic character portrait of vanity, arrogance, and petty prejudice.
Anyhow, TV Land took the Jeffersons off in January 2003 to put on Sanford and Son.(I like that show too, but not as much as the Jeffersons.) So I decided to buy the Complete first and Second Seasons so I could see it some more.
