Peter Morley on Instagram: "In 1975, Edith Bunker (Jean Stapleton) and Louise Jefferson (Isabel Sanford) say “so long” to each other. It was the prelude on “All In The Family” to “The Jeffersons Move Up”: As Louise’s husband, George Jefferson prepares to open his 3rd dry cleaning store, the Jeffersons move to an expensive apartment from Astoria, Queens to Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Edith and Louise decide to say “so long” not goodbye in this touching scene. STELLAR work by the late great ICONS
