Gibbs got her first acting job in the 1970s, in the blaxploitation films Sweet Jesus, Preacherman, and Black Belt Jones. But before all that, she worked as a reservations agent for United Airlines before she relocated from Detroit to Los Angeles together with her children. She also made appearances in other features, like The Brothers and Grantham and Rose. With a $4-million net worth, Marla probably has a good credit report that will help her in the future. Anyhow, with everything she has, she is secured for her retirement.
