Sherman Hemsley : The real reason he ended up in El Paso

The real reason he ended up in El Paso

I read this either in a magazine or a newspaper, but the real reason he ended up in El Paso was because he had financial trouble, he tracked down his ex-financial advisor to El Paso. Basically stayed with him, living on the guy's couch. When things start to get ironed out, he went back to acting. Apparently he liked living in El Paso because it's a more simple town than Beverly Hills and because the cost of living was cheaper. It make sense because if you look at Mr. Hemsley's credit, the man was a virtual workaholic, there was rarely any gap in years that he worked, he has a credit for every year except between 2000 and 2004.

As for his money, I'm thinking either he got royally screwed or was donating a huge portion to charity. Just wonder how much higher Isabel Sanford's salary was, since she did have first billing.

I fully expected him to die with maybe a million or two to his name, but no, only $50K, a typical annual salary for a mid-level manager or seasoned blue-collar employee.

After 11 years on the Jeffersons and 5 years of Amen he would've earned $15 to $20 million dollars! What the hell happened to all that??

Jesus NEVER existed! He is Judeo Christian MYTH!

Re: The real reason he ended up in El Paso

That's what I was wondering too. It made me think of that because I'm now watching 'Amen'on Get.TV.
