Redd Foxx after Sanford and Son ended..."Fred Sanford character nearly ruined my life

[TVFactFan]

1977 Interview with Jet magazine

"The man was taking over my life and I started feeling older. The lady I was with at the time started thinking I was really an old man. When I came home at night I was Fred Sanford, when I went to work in the morning I was Fred Sanford.


Well if he was feeling this way in 1977 while did he play the character again in 1980 on Sanford??
