Members Chris B Posted July 26, 2021 Members Share Posted July 26, 2021 That can't be true because Jackee recurred on the final season, after the spin-off wasn't picked up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted July 27, 2021 Members Share Posted July 27, 2021 No. Marla did *not* pass out while getting her star on the Walk of Fame. The ceremony had been going for an hour, and then she seemed a bit lightheaded for a moment while giving her speech, so they paused the ceremony. Some reporters hastily incorrectly reported that she fainted or was about to faint It turns out that she simply got overheated but was not about to faint. Twenty minutes later, she was sitting down and completing the ceremony where the honoree is photographed at their star. A spokesperson told EW that Marla had a good time at the afterparty. ----------- Here's the ceremony on the Walk of Fame youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwbUYggaBhE The first half hour of the youtube is blank (just a photo with no audio) , waiting for the ceremony to begin. It starts around 30 minutes into the vid. At about 1 hour and 27 minutes, you can see Marla pause in her speech, and they ask if she's okay and she says she is. They help her off the stage. Then there is a few minutes of random people milling about. Then the video goes blank again (just a photo with no audio) for another 20 minutes or so. Finally at 1:19:45, the ceremony resumes with Marla getting photographed by her star. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted July 28, 2021 Members Share Posted July 28, 2021 Aunt Irma was great. Definitely one of the best comedic characters that show ever had. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members te. Posted July 30, 2021 Members Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) This sounds like someone got it mixed up with the rumor about what happened behind the scenes of Alice with Linda Lavin / Polly Holliday; Polly Holliday got more popular than Linda as her side character Flo, got a spin-off that failed and never returned. Rumor was that Linda Lavin blocked her from returning. I wouldn't be surprised if there's similar rumors every time a popular side character outshines the supposed lead and gets a spin-off that fails.

Members KMan101 Posted August 2, 2021 Members Share Posted August 2, 2021 I wonder if Olivia was on purpose. George Jefferson's mother on The Jefferson's was named Olivia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Spoon Posted August 12, 2021 Members Share Posted August 12, 2021 Reportedly MG resented Jackee for stealing the spotlight, similarly to the Linda Lavin/Polly Holliday situation. Hopefully these two have put away any grudges or resentments past them by now like Cindy Williams/Penny Marshall or Suzanne Sommers/Joyce deWitt eventually did after many years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 12, 2021 Members Share Posted August 12, 2021 The same with her and Isabel Sanford. Isabel thought she was the diva of the show only to be upstaged by Marla. I believe it was Belinda Tolbert that mentioned it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
