Marla, who gained fame and popularity since starring in the 90s sitcom, "The Jeffersons," has not quickly forgotten how it all began for her. In 2017, at age 86, Mshe revealed during an interview how her role on the show gave her a new beginning. Without mincing words, she said:

"The Jeffersons brought me a lot of love that was missing in my life. People still tell me, 'I love you,' and big, grown men will say, 'I gotta have a hug' Ms. Gibbs —and I'll hug them!"

After appearing on the show for ten years and earning about five Primetime Emmy nominations, she moved to "227," another sensational show. She later starred in shows like "Martin," "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," and "Touched By An Angel," among others.

Before her success in the entertainment industry, she worked for a US Airline and was a divorced parent with three kids to care for. It was not until the "The Jeffersons" series became a hit show that Marla quit her job with the airline.

Throughout the years of fame and fortune, Angela has been incredibly supportive. She is as industrious and talented as her mother. She has been useful professionally and personally. In fact, Angela was involved in producing "227," the second hit sitcom that featured her mom as Mary Jenkins.

The "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" star is not only a talented actress, but she also has a good sense of humor. She's nearly 90 but still believes that age is nothing but a number and that she can still achieve anything. Thankfully she has the love and support of her family and fans!
