In a candid moment on the red carpet, Gibbs shared her aspirations to return to popular shows like "Gray's Anatomy" and "Days of Our Lives." Her enthusiasm for acting remains undimmed, as she humorously remarked on her 90th birthday in 2021, considering it the third time she turned 30. "You have to understand that we're spiritual beings as well as physical. And as spiritual beings, we have time, we have no age, so I choose to vibrate on 30," she shared.

This youthful spirit translates into her views on work and retirement. Dismissing the notion of retirement, Gibbs plans to continue acting for as long as she desires. Alongside her acting projects, she is also excited about the upcoming release of her memoir, which promises to offer an intimate glimpse into the life of one of Hollywood's enduring icons.
