Marla Gibbs was finally given a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today after being in the business for over 50 years. However, there was a scary moment actress who turned 90 last month.
According to KABC’s George Pennacchio, she looked as though she was overcome* by the heat because it is as hot as she is old here today. Thankfully, after she rested for a bit, The Jeffersons’ star told the reporter that “She was overwhelmed by the honor but she says she’s fine now! 😁”
Since the show must go on, it did. She was able to get her star, and now whenever we are on Hollywood Blvd, we can see it.
Congrats to Gibbs. It is an honor that was a long time coming.
*This is a reference to The Jeffersons’ pilot when she finds out that Louise Jefferson and Helen Willis both live in the luxury Manhattan high rise. She says to them, “Well, how come we overcame, and nobody told me.”
