this surprised me that the actor Sherman Hemsley (The Jeffersons and that 80's show where he was Deacon Frye) never married and never had any kids and always shied away from the public limelight and was a recluse. I am surprised because I always saw him to be the opposite and we are always talking of never marrieds/childless folks on this board

During this time she lived with Hemsley and Hemsley's friend Kenny Johnston. Enchinton tells AP Hemsley never mentioned any relatives. "Some people come out of the woodwork – they think Sherman, they think money," Enchinton tells AP. "But the fact is that I did not know Sherman when he was in the limelight.
