MOVIN' ON UP: There really is no other way to announce a member of the cast of The Jeffersons dying, even when said departed was already "up" when George and Louise made their leap skyward. I speak of Franklin Cover, perhaps better known as George's "honky" neighbor, Tom Willis, who was married to Helen, who was portrayed by the woman that is Lenny Kravitz's mom, who died yesterday at the age of 77. (I have to admit, though, when I saw the CNN headline "Franklin Cover, neighbor of the 'The Jeffersons,' dead," I thought it was Mr. "Don't Call Me Guffman" Bentley who had moved on up.)
