LaWanda Page (October 19, 1920September 14, 2002), born Alberta Peal, was an American actress and comedienne best known for her role as Aunt Esther in the 1970s TV sitcom ''Sanford and Son''. She later reprised the role in ''Sanford Arms'' and ''Sanford''.〔 ==Early life and career== She was born on October 19, 1920 in Cleveland, Ohio. Page was raised in St. Louis, Missouri. She began her career in show business working small nightclubs, billed as "The Bronze Goddess of Fire," an act which included her eating fire and lighting cigarettes with her fingertips. She performed the cigarette feat on an episode of ''Sanford and Son'' titled ''"The Greatest Show in Watts"'' in Season 5 of the series, in which Fred held a circus in his front yard. She was the older sister of Elisabeth Sanford, the mother of her nephew Lamont Sanford and the late wife of Fred G. Sanford. LaWanda Page and Redd Foxx were very close friends from the time they were pre-teen age. They attended school and grew up together in St. Louis. Later on, they both entered the field of comedy separately and performed stage acts. Page later recorded several live comedy albums for the Laff Records label in the late 1960s and early 1970s under the LaWanda stage name. One release, a gold-selling album called ''Watch It, Sucker!'', was titled after one of her Aunt Esther character's catchphrases to capitalize on her newfound TV fame. During her tenure as a stand-up comic, which lasted all the way to the 1990s, she was often called ''The Queen of Comedy'', or in some mainstream circles, ''The Black Queen of Comedy''. Other than the expletive-free ''Sane Advice'' album, released two years after the run of ''Sanford and Son'', most of Page's albums and stand-up material were raunchy in nature.
