Moving On UP....... To hard rock.

[Brian37]

If you want us to name the rick star, it’s kind of pointless, because you already named him. 

The snarky maid is Florence Johnston, played by Marla Gibbs.

I’m not sure about the French play, as the question is too non-specific (most French plays have a maid).

You got half of it right. Yes, while Florence WAS NOT the actress who gave birth to Lenny Kravits,  the rock star. but the interracial wife(as a character in the sitcom the character in The Jeffersons. (But his real life mother WAS the character played in the interracial couple on that sitcom.)

My reference to Florence in the sitcom has to do with the classic play was akin to  the classic French play had to do with the snarky nature of the royal made not taking shit in the same way. 

Roxie Rokeir was not the maid........ She played Hellin Willis, the wife of the interracial couple of the Jeffersons. Florence was the maid of George in the sitcom. 

You got tripped up because I was asking two different questions.

I was asking you who Helen, was. Then asking you who the sperate made character was. You got the maid right.

The maid of the Jeffersons reminds me of the maid in a 15th century French play. Read it in college, and she reminds me of of the maid in the play.
