Has anybody seen this episode? She has a role in the episode "Samantha Goes South for a Spell." I didn't recognize her until I looked it up on the Internet Movie Database.

I've seen that episode once. Isabel did a very good at protraying her character. It was such a treat to see here in one of my favorite shows. All I thought about while watching that Bewitched episode were the memories of that I have of watching Isabel in The Jeffersons as Louise "Weezy" Jefferson. She's such a terrific actress whose unforgettable.

I loved her in that episode she was so like Louise, lol. I always wanted to meet her and ask what was it like to work on that show with Elizabeth Montgomery.

In Herbie J. Pilato's book Bewitched Forever, Elizabeth mentioned this episode as one of her favorites: "Isabel Sanford was wonderful."

That's cool that these two great ladies of television comedy actually worked together on an episode of Bewitched!

They are great pics - Don and Ann (aka Ohio8 and AB) were the ones who posted them onto the photo gallery. Isabel Sanford had also just appeared in the movie Guess Who's Coming to Dinner around this same time. Just a couple of years after this she landed the role of Louise on AITF and the rest is history!! :D

That was one of my favorite eps as well! Sanford was so funny in that episode, and so believable.

Yes those are. Was Isabel's Bewitched episode before or after the Jeffersons or during? What year?

Isabel sure had a great figure didn't she? Did she ever do any nude work? LOL!

It's just so quite a few female TV stars did some nude work in the 70s. Isabel could've gotten thousands of dollars for her shots.

This was before All In the Family and The Jeffersons. The name of this particular Bewitched episode was "Samantha Goes South For a Spell" and its original airdate was October 3, 1968. :cool:

Oh wow, ok. That was many years before the Jeffersons. Isn't it AMAZING that Isabel was actually about 20 YEARS older than Sherman but Sherman actually looked just as old IF NOT OLDER than Isabel!!! UNREAL!!

In some episodes Isabel looked downright hot but in other episodes not so much.

Yeah, they did look pretty much the same age. I do think Sherman frosted his hair in those early episodes to look older. He didn't have that same grayish hair in the later episodes or on Amen.

That could've just been Grecian formula. :D

If anything Sherman looked a little older than Isabel eventhough he was actually 20 years YOUNGER!! :eek:

The fact Sherman was already balding when the show started didn't help.

Yeah, Miss Sanford did as good a job as anyone could have with those lines (and didn't compromise her dignity).

Ah, but the irony is that (at the time) Jack Cassidy who played her employer was the more famous guest star but now he's barely remembered as Shirley Jones's ex and the late David Cassidy's dad (despite his own tragic demise).

I wonder if Miss Sanford ever mentioned what she thought of working with him (along with Miss Montgomery).

Yeah, & this site has never been the same since.

It was actually even earlier than that.

But you'd think catlover79 with 70,000 posts would just drop once every few months or so you know? Once a year??
