Character
Aunt Esther
If Fred Sanford has a conscience, its name is Esther, a bible-thumping sister-in-law who runs a rooming house, the Sanford Arms, next to the junkyard. Esther has her own ideas about how Fred should be running his life, and he certainly knows where he'd like to see her go. Some of Sanford and Son's most hilarious moments come from the interplay between opinionated Fred and his dearly-departed wife's strong-willed sister.
