Marla Gibbs

Marla Gibbs had successfully made a huge name in Hollywood when she did the CBS sitcom The Jeffersons. Her role as the maid Florence Johnston was so convincing she got five Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series nominations. The talented celebrity continued to wow the audience, doing the show’s spinoff, Checking In, and the NBC series 227, wherein she tried to put some investments in by being a co-producer.

The star also sang the latter show’s theme song. In her successful, almost five-decade career, Gibbs received seven NACCP Image Awards—what a feat! Fast forward to today, Gibbs maybe already 89 years old, but she’s continuously blessing us with her great talent. She has just completed two shorts and one movie project: Alone Together, Orpheus Star, and Headshop. The veteran actress is also part of the TV series The Last O.G. By the looks of it, retirement is not yet in Gibbs’ vocabulary.
