MARLA GIBBS IS RAW TALENT

Marla Gibbs is known for the exceptional depiction of her role as tart-tongued "Florence" in "The Jeffersons." She became TV's favorite and, in the long run, became nominated severally for Emmy and Golden Globe awards.

Marla's first major role was in "The Jeffersons" TV sitcom, which she got through the help of her then-manager, Ernestine McLendon.

During a "Washington Post" interview, Gibbs made it known that, "My thing is that it's never too late if you're still breathing. I'm still vertical, and I'm still on this side of the grass."

For her acting career, Marla took acting classes in community workshops in LA. She studied at institutions, including the Performing Arts Society of Los Angeles, Mafundi Institute, and Watts Writers Workshop.

Marla's first major role was in "The Jeffersons" TV sitcom, which she got through the help of her then-manager, Ernestine McLendon.

After she acted in her first and supposed-to-be only episode on the show, the producers loved her acting and decided to engage her in more episodes. As time went in, Gibbs owned her personal show, "227".
