MARLA GIBBS NEVER GAVE UP HER "REAL JOB"

Back in the 70s, one of the most popular sitcoms around was "The Jeffersons." Marla Gibbs was chosen to play Florence, Jefferson's housekeeper, but the young actress didn't let fame go to her head.

While she was trying to make it as an actress, had Marla worked as a reservation clerk at United Airlines, and after she won her breakthrough role for which she won 5 Emmy nominations, she refused to give it up.

It was years before Marla quit her part-time position at United Airline, and concentrated solely on her acting. At 88, she has over 80 films and TV shows to her credit.
