This is almost the only 1970s show where nearly the entire cast have passed on?
When I compare this to other 70s shows such as Good Times, Maude, All In The Family, Happy Days and Three's Company this show is losing it cast the most, i don't mean it in a good way, but it sad when looking at alot of the other shows of the 70s where all or most members are still alive, The Jeffersons only have 3 Cast Members still alive( two of them are over 70) I know it life, but it sad that this show is losing it members ver y fast.

Yes, I'm almost sure Ralph is still alive. He married a black woman and once I saw him on a talk show about interracial marriage. So what a coincidence that he did the same thing that the Willises did!
I didn't realize that the Jeffersons is the only show where most of the cast is gone. Yeah, that is sad. Part of the reason is many cast member were already pretty old when the show ended.
Marla had a scare recently but I think she's ok now.

Even Charlie the Bartender is gone?? What about Mr. Whittendale?
I'm sure Marcus and Leory are still alive. Also the 2 actors who played Alan Willis must be alive.

Three actors played Mr. Whittendale (Jack Fletcher, Ivor Francis, and Peter Leeds) and all three have since passed on.
