Marla Gibbs as Mary Jenkins

“227” was an amazing show, and was so due to great writing and characters, and Marla Gibbs’s portrayal as Mary Jenkins.  Marla was in the center of all the entertainment.  As the main matriarch, and the epicenter of all the action, Mary Jenkins was the woman with all the answers, while being a mother to her daughter, Brenda (portrayed by Regina King).

After “227” Marla Gibbs continued acting, and being the amazing force that she is.  Some of her roles were in shows and movies like “The Hughleys,” The Meteor Man, voiced Duchess in “101  Dalmatians,” Madea’s Witness Protection, “The First Family” and she just finished shooting The Man in 3B.
