Negros in Mayfield


In season 6/17 Wally and Eddie were parking attendants at a fancy house and one the women there was black and she had a speaking part.

I remember that! She played on the Jeffersons years later. She played a school mate of their maid, Florence. Florence was insecure about being a made when the woman looked her up. So George and Louise decided to pretend that Florence was married to George, and Louise was their maid. In the end the truth came out, but it turned out Florence had the better life because she had people who loved her enough to do that for her, whereas her old school mate was rich, but lonely.

I also saw a Black man walking around in the background of LITB when they all went out of town for a big football game that Wally was playing in.

I saw that episode a long time ago. Maybe if the show has aired a few years, perhaps the producers would have had more minorities making cameos.
