Esther Anderson
is the Bible-toting sister-in-law of Fred Sanford. She is a staunchly
religious Baptist who finds little use for humor and often criticizes
Fred. Elizabeth, Esther's younger sister, was married to Fred,
and Esther and the rest of the Winfield family were against the
marriage from the outset. However, Esther often expressed that
if anything good came out of the marriage it was her nephew and
Fred's son, Lamont.
Lamont adored
his aunt Esther, and would, against Fred's and Grady's wishes,
allow her to stay in their house and often defended her against
their insults. Since Esther and her family were the only real
connection he had to his late mother, Lamont welcomed her often.
She, in turn, was there to counsel Lamont on his life, and did
her best to help him to get out of living in his father's junkyard
house. She did so because she felt that Elizabeth would not have
wanted Lamont, whom Esther felt was very intelligent, to remain
in such a limited life.
Fred responded
to Esther's entrances by making exaggerated grimaces. He would
then proceed to insult her, likening her to animals and fictitious
movie monsters. Fred often focused on Esther's looks, once telling
her, "I could stick your face in some dough and make some
gorilla cookies!" He also often insulted her by calling her
"ugly" and pronouncing it Ug-leee!.
