She could not EVEN compare to ISABEL SANFORD who was egregiously overlooked by the Academy in 1968. She stole the show from POITIER in the bedroom scene.

There were some incredibly talented actresses starring in TV comedies in the 1970s: Jean Stapleton (All in the Family), Mary Tyler Moore (Mary Tyler Moore), Bea Arthur (Maude), and Isabel Sanford (The Jeffersons). She was right up there with the best of them. I'm glad she finally won a well-deserved Emmy in 1981. It's tough to think of anybody on TV today, male or female, who is half as funny as she was.
