60 In "Sanford and Son," what was the son's name?
Answer: Lamont

"Sanford and Son" came out in 1972 and stared Redd Foxx as Fred Sanford, a junkyard owner. Demond Wilson played his son Lamont. "Sanford and Son" was based on the British series "Steptoe and Son." Sanford was always faking heart attacks and saying, "I'm coming to you, Elizabeth." Elizabeth was his wife, who was already gone before the show started. Sanford was a schemer, and Lamont didn't want anything to do with those schemes. In 1991, while filming "The Royal Family," Foxx had a massive heart attack. The cast members thought he was joking around until he grabbed a chair and fell to the floor. He died in the hospital later that evening.
