Berlinda Tolbert is an American actress best known for her role as Jenny on the CBS comedy The Jeffersons, which aired from 1975 to 1985. Berlinda, who played the role of Mike Evans' wife in the show, got married to her husband Bob Reid.
Back then, when Tolbert decided to marry Bob, she was described as 'crazy' for taking the decision. Given the controversy her marriage created, people are interested to know how her marital life has fared so far. Today, on FamousStardom, we will present you the details of her married life and also about her husband.
Berlinda and Bob got married in 1979. The most shocking thing about their marriage is that the couple decided to tie the knot only 11 days after first meeting each other. So, there is not much information about their relationship.
But Berlinda and Bob have proved all wrong by staying true to their relationship, despite not knowing each other well before marriage. As Bob said in an interview with Ebony magazine:
We had not had a chance to get to know each other well at all.
Well, it's been more than 38 years since their marriage, and unlike other couples separating even after many years of their marriage, they are still on good terms with each other.
Berlinda, who remained active in her career for nearly 40 years, got her breakthrough from The Jeffersons before moving on to Goodfellas in 1990 and Patriot Games in 1992. She last appeared on the Last Ride on the Midwest Pacific, in 2011. She officially declared her retirement in 2013. After that, Berlinda kept herself out of reach from the media's attention.
As Berlinda has said about her career:
I've only had one job in my enitre life..professional actress.
Similarly, Bob has also retired from his job at CBS, where he worked as a journalist.
The couple has so far remained free from rumors and controversy. Amazingly, neither Bob nor Berlinda is involved in social media. Maybe they want to keep their private life away from the flashlight of media.
