At the 2023 Emmy Awards, 92-year-old Marla Gibbs stood out among the stars, radiating a timeless charm that belied her age.
Best known for her groundbreaking role in “The Jeffersons,” the legendary actress showcased her undiminished zeal for life and acting in a stunning black gown adorned with colorful gems.
Accompanied by her daughter, Angela, Gibbs recalled her career’s early days, expressing gratitude to Norman Lear, the producer of “The Jeffersons,” whom she referred to as her “hero.”
Lear played a significant role in shaping her career trajectory, and Gibbs remains appreciative.
Despite her decades-long career and numerous accolades, Gibbs expressed her aspirations to return to popular shows like “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Days of Our Lives” during a candid moment on the red carpet.
Her enthusiasm for acting remains unwavering, as she humorously reflected on her 90th birthday in 2021, considering it the third time she turned 30. According to Gibbs, as spiritual beings, age holds no constraint, and she chooses to vibrate on the energy of 30.
In defiance of the conventional idea of retirement, Gibbs has no plans to stop acting, affirming her commitment to continue pursuing her passion for as long as she desires.
