Summary:
Red Foxx was an "overnight sensation" at 49 whose early life was defined by adversity, and post-Sanford and Son years by a blur of women, cocaine, endless lawsuits, financial chaos, and a losing battle with the IRS. But his trailblazing style had opened the door for generations of African American comedians.
