Sanford was born Eloise Gwendolyn Sanford in Harlem, New York City, to Josephine (née Perry) and James Edward Sanford. She was the youngest of seven children and was the only child to survive beyond infancy. Sanford's mother Josephine was devoutly religious and insisted that her daughter attend church every Sunday, and occasionally made her attend on weeknights. As a teenager, Sanford aspired to be an actress, but her mother discouraged her dream, as she felt that show business was "the road to degradation." Sanford disobeyed her mother and began performing at local clubs. She also performed at amateur night at The Apollo Theater. After graduating high school, Sanford joined Harlem's American Negro Theater and The Star Players. She made her professional stage debut in 1946 in On Strivers Row, and appeared in several off-Broadway productions while also working as a keypunch operator at IBM. Sanford married house painter William Edward "Sonny" Richmond, with whom she had three children. Their marriage was tumultuous, and they later separated.The most expensive item with a signature of Isabel Sanford (THE JEFFERSONS / 1984 SIGNED TV Script, Isabel Sanford You'll Never Rich) was sold in January 2022 for $200.00 while the cheapest item (AUTOGRAPHED Signed Card THE JEFFERSONS ISABEL SANFORD Hollywood Memorabilia) found a new owner for $0.99 in January 2020.
