Andy Henderson was also Ralph the Doorman?!?
Strange that his obit doesn’t even mention Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. I would have thought that would have been the first thing highlighted in his career.
RIP, Ned. Hope you’re “movin’ on up” wherever you are.
89! Hard to believe.
RIP Ned. You lived to be old.
I didn’t know that was him in Santa Claus Conquers the Martians that was also on The Jeffersons.Hope you have a long microphone cord to interview all of the others that have passed in our MSTie family..RIP Ned..
I hope Ned doesn’t run into Binky on a dark night somewhere. RIP
Henderson outside of Santa’s workshop, and Anderson inside of Santa’s workshop. Hard to imagine this classic film has a flaw, but it’s true.
If it weren’t for the one on Rhonda he’d be the best TV doorman. RIP
and… I ALSO had no idea he was in SCCtM!! Learn something all the time here!
