Marla Gibbs made an unusual appearance after a while. The actress was most recognized for her role on The Jeffersons. She has been out of the spotlight for some time, and her return to the red carpet has left a lasting impression.
Marla Gibbs is best known for her role on the television show The Jeffersons. The CBS sitcom aired from 1975 to 1985. Gibbs was a series regular and appeared in 207 episodes of the show. For her performance in the show, she was nominated for several awards, which included the Primetime Emmy, Golden Globe, and TV Land Award.
She received the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. Gibbs has various talents, including writing, singing, comedy, and acting. However, her performance as Florence Johnston on The Jeffersons catapulted her to fame.
She attended the 2024 Emmy Awards red carpet ceremony. She was dressed in a stunning black gown adorned with glitter and white gems around the edges. She had her short hair arranged away from her face to highlight her modest makeup and stunning jewelry.
Gibbs joined Abbott Elementary writer and actor Quinta Brunson onstage to deliver the Award for Supporting Actress in a Limited Anthology Series or Movie. Niecy Nash-Betts won the award.
When Gibbs entered the stage to accept the award, the audience immediately began cheering. Of course, just seeing a live legend enthralled the audience! At 92 years old, the actress still looks great and is popular with the crowds!
But no one was more pleased and awed than Ms Quinta Brunson, who was overjoyed to be able to give the award beside a living Hollywood legend!
Brunson made sure she let everyone know how special Gibbs was. She described her career as one that has “literally spanned decades.” She pointed out how Gibbs is still active in the industry, and routinely outpaces even those a third her age with how busy her roster usually is.
Gibbs took the opportunity to make a joke. She said, “That’s easy, baby: the wage gap,” she joked, saying she would need to work “20 more years” before she could think about retirement. before she could retire. She also added that perhaps Brunson could write a role for her on Abbott Elementary, adding a quip saying “Black don’t crack!”’

Gibbs’ first role was an uncredited one in the 1968 film Yours, Mine, and Ours. She has since remained engaged in the industry. She has subsequently remained active, appearing in a number of films and TV shows. In 2022, she appeared in Bromates, Spirit Halloween: The Movie, and Grey’s Anatomy.
