About This Item
Los Angeles, 1976. Eight kodachrome slides showing Foxx, with one possibly related slide of a woman included as well. Unpublished, originally taken for the May 6, 1976 issue of Jet Magazine (Vol. 50 No. 7), which is also included here. Fine condition, magazine nearly fine with slightest tanning. Fine. Redd Foxx left NBC in 1976 after a successful run of six seasons of Sanford and Sun, and went to ABC, producing a short-lived show called The Redd Foxx Comedy Hour which was canceled after its first season due to poor ratings despite wide critical acclaim. Jet Magazine covered the transition in an article in 1976, with photographs by Isaac Sutton. Offered here are eight unused images from the shoot, capturing Foxx in a range of setings including a swimming pool and on his moped riding around Los Angeles. A nice group from the height of Foxx's career in comedy, although his stint at ABC would wind up being a disappointment considering his earlier success.
