Demond Wilson, "Sanford and Son" and "The New Odd Couple" actor, dies at 79

๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜ข Demond Wilson was a total legend in my eyes! I mean, can you believe he was dancing at the Apollo Theater by 12? That's like me doing a backflip on stage when I'm 5 lol. But seriously, his career spanned so many decades and he just kept going. I love how he wrote that memoir, it must've been super hard to share all those personal struggles but he did it anyway. And let's be real, who can forget Lamont Sanford? He was the ultimate cool uncle ๐Ÿ˜Ž. His legacy will definitely live on and inspire new generations of actors and performers. We'll miss him for sure but his impact will never fade ๐Ÿ’ซ
 
๐Ÿ˜” just heard about the passing of Demond Wilson ๐ŸŽฌ he was truly a legend in my eyes ๐Ÿ‘ I mean, who wouldn't love Lamont Sanford? ๐Ÿ˜‚ that guy could make you laugh or cry with one look or line ๐Ÿคฃ and his story is so inspiring - from tap dancing at 12 to becoming an ordained minister ๐Ÿ™ he faced many challenges but never gave up ๐Ÿ’ช it's a shame we won't get to see more of him on screen, but I'm sure his legacy will live on ๐ŸŒŸ
 
Man... 79 is old ๐Ÿคฏ just think about it, Demond's life was like a marathon, not a sprint ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ he had so much time to make those iconic moves, bring so much joy to people's lives, and yet, we're still feeling the loss ๐Ÿ’” I mean, can you imagine not seeing Lamont Sanford on screen anymore? It's like a part of our childhood is gone ๐ŸŒฑ

And what's crazy is he didn't just stop at acting... he wrote that book "Second Banana" which gives us a glimpse into his personal struggles and how he overcame them ๐Ÿ’ช it's like he was trying to tell us, 'Hey, I'm still here, I'm still fighting' even when it felt like the world was against him

We should all take a page from Demond's book ๐Ÿ“š and remember that life is about more than just the work we do... it's about who we are, how we show up in the world, and the impact we leave behind โค๏ธ
