Angela went on by expressing her love for her beloved grandson. She stated how proud she was of him and wished him many more years on earth. Angela is the daughter of veteran actress Marla Gibbs. She has a son named Amil Gibbs who is the father of Samuel.

In 2016, Amil took to Instagram where he revealed that Samuel was one of the 12 finalists who participated in the August Wilson National Theatre Competition. He accompanied it with a note where he gushed about how proud he was of his son.

As the grandson of a successful actress like Marla, it comes as no surprise that Amil enjoys spending time with his grandmother. The duo have been pictured together on several occasions.

In May 2019, Marla shared photos of herself and Amil on the red carpet as they posed alongside Angela and famous music mogul, Dr. Dre. The stars were all smiles for the camera.

In a separate post shared in 2018, Marla, Amil, and Angela were featured in an adorable family photo posted in honor of Mother's Day. Without a doubt, theirs is one happy clan.

Marla was launched into the spotlight after her role as Florence Johnston in the 1975 sitcom, "The Jeffersons." After the end of the show, the actress went on to appear in several movies and TV shows.

Last year, Marla reprised her role as Florence and it was a wonderful experience for her. According to her, the show changed her life and it was great to relive it once again.

With her career spanning over five decades in Hollywood, Marla has come a long way. She says it is never too late to pursue one's dreams.
