Maeby sprang into the modern consciousness via the cult TV favorite Arrested Development, in which the appealing teen character Maeby's name is a nickname for Mae. It's also a homonym for Maybe, which undercuts its inherent cuteness.
Similarly, how old is Maeby Funke?
Shawkat was cast as Maeby Fünke, part of Arrested Development's wealthy and dysfunctional Bluth family, when she was only 13 years old. Arrested Development struggled to find an audience at first, but by its third season had become a cult favourite.
Also, are George Michael and Maeby still married?
I remember the deleted scenes showing George Michael hiding the marriage certificate in his sock drawer after Maeby asked him to rip it up (though that may not be cannon). Until they say otherwise, they're still technically married.
Is Alia Shawkat black?
She grew up in Palm Springs. She has two brothers. Her father is an Arab, from Iraq. Her mother is of Norwegian, Irish, and Italian descent.
Is Maeby Funke adopted?
As the show goes on and George Michael continues to have feelings for Maeby, he begins to suspect that she could be adopted. However, it's then revealed that while Maeby wasn't adopted into the Bluth family, Lindsay was — meaning that Maeby isn't blood-related to George Michael.
