Redd Foxx: Redd Foxx, widely recognized as a stand-up comedy trailblazer, is best known for his lead role as “Fred Sanford” on the hit series ‘Sanford and Son.’ Despite having a reputation for X-rated humor from his party records, he broke barriers with his unique comedy style. Tragically, he passed away from a heart attack at the age of 68 in 1991 during rehearsals for his CBS series ‘The Royal Family.’
