Sometimes the internet gets things right.
I Love Mrs Marla Gibbs
Worked a day job and got unlimited flight passes at United Airlines all the while doing tv as the same time! Wow! 💪🏾❤️
She got a real sparkle in her eyes
Eve as a child, I knew that she had a cute face and a body on her!
It's wild how almost the whole cast are gone. 50 something years – is 50 something years.
Mama Gibbs has been my “TV mom”— I honour you Mama Marla Gibbs ❤
Hal Williams from sitcom "227" is also still alive..💪🏿💪🏿✊🏾✊🏾
Congratulations Queen 👑
I loved The Jefferson’s Show!!!! ❤ 😂
They alway gotta ask about abuse and all that evil shit that don't have nothing to do with nothing don't they
Loved her in the Jeffersons and 227. But the time I enjoyed her work the most was the 2019 Live in Front of a Studio Audience reprising her role as Florence. The audience went wild when the door opens and she's there again as Florence. She still had the same comedic timing. And in 2025 she's still working!
Marla Gibbs! Quick! Someone ask her about Nelson Mandella!
That man died in the nineteen-eighties! Someone ask her!
What a wonderful women . I grew up watching 227
Loved all her characters.. that's a mistake I meant a $5 check lol
What a Treasure🌹 Ms. Marla Gibbs has been 1 of my personal favorites for years- I still watch Both, but my family knows I don't play about my 227~Mary Jenkins is my favorite favorite.

Thank You for showing us how to WORK, Follow Our OWN Path & that "It's Never to late."🥺🥲 God keep on Blessing #6DecadeCareer!✔️🤎
