**Carol Creighton Burnett** (born April 26, 1933) is an American actress, comedian, singer, and writer, whose career spans seven decades of television. She is best known for her groundbreaking comedy variety show, *The Carol Burnett Show*, originally aired on CBS. It was the first of its kind to be hosted by a woman. She has achieved success on stage, television and film in varying genres including dramatic and comedic roles. She has also appeared on various talk shows and as a panelist on game shows.

Born in San Antonio, Texas, Burnett moved with her grandmother to Hollywood, where she attended Hollywood High School and eventually studied theater and musical comedy at UCLA. Later she performed in nightclubs in New York City and had a breakout success on Broadway in 1959 in *Once Upon a Mattress*, for which she received a Tony Award nomination. She soon made her television debut, regularly appearing on *The Garry Moore Show* for the next three years, and won her first Emmy Award in 1962. Burnett had her television special debut in 1963 when she starred as Calamity Jane in the Dallas State Fair Musicals production of *Calamity Jane* on CBS. Burnett moved to Los Angeles, California, and began an 11-year run as star of *The Carol Burnett Show* on CBS television from 1967 to 1978. With its vaudeville roots, *The Carol Burnett Show* was a variety show that combined comedy sketches with song and dance. The comedy sketches included film parodies and character pieces. Burnett created many memorable characters during the show's run, and both she and the show won numerous Emmy and Golden Globe Awards.

During and after her variety show, Burnett appeared in many television and film projects. Her film roles include *Pete 'n' Tillie* (1972), *The Front Page* (1974), *The Four Seasons* (1981), *Annie* (1982), *Noises Off* (1992), and *Horton Hears a Who!* (2008). On television, she has appeared in other sketch shows; in dramatic roles in *6 Rms Riv Vu* (1974) and *Friendly Fire* (1979); in various well-regarded guest roles, such as in *Mad About You,* for which she won an Emmy Award; and in specials with Julie Andrews, Dolly Parton, Beverly Sills, and others. She returned to the Broadway stage in 1995 in *Moon Over Buffalo,* for which she was again nominated for a Tony Award.

Burnett has written and narrated several memoirs, earning Grammy nominations for almost all of them, and a win for *In Such Good Company: Eleven Years Of Laughter, Mayhem, And Fun In The Sandbox*.

In 2005, she was recognized as "one of America's most cherished entertainers" and awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom "for enhancing the lives of millions of Americans and for her extraordinary contributions to American entertainment." In 2013, Burnett was awarded the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts In 2020, the Golden Globes named an award after her for career achievement in television titled, the Carol Burnett Award and received its first award

## Early life

 File:Carol christine burnett person to person 1961.JPG
Burnett was born in San Antonio, Texas, on April 26, 1933,**Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor\_id\_list' not found.****Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor\_id\_list' not found.** the daughter of Ina Louise (née Creighton), a publicity writer for movie studios, and Joseph Thomas Burnett, a movie theater manager. Her maternal grandparents were William Rufus Creighton (1878-1951) and Mabel Eudora “Mae” Jones (1885-1967). Both of her parents were alcoholics, and at a young age, she was left with her grandmother. Her parents divorced in the late 1930s, her mother then moved to Hollywood and she and her grandmother moved to a one-room apartment near her mother's in an impoverished area of Hollywood, California. There they stayed in a boarding house with Burnett's younger half-sister Chrissie.

When Burnett was in second grade, she briefly invented an imaginary twin sister named Karen, with Shirley Temple-like dimples. She later recalled that, motivated to further the pretense, she "fooled the other boarders in the rooming house where we lived by frantically switching clothes and dashing in and out of the house by the fire escape and the front door. Then I became exhausted and Karen mysteriously vanished."**Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor\_id\_list' not found.** When Burnett was nine, she taught herself how to do the "Tarzan yell", which she realized years later was a good vocal exercise for volume, and it became a fan favorite. Burnett's first experiences with singing occurred with her family. Her grandmother was a trained musician who could play the piano (although they didn't have one at the time), and her mother played the ukulele, so they sometimes sang popular songs in harmony together around the kitchen table. Her grandmother frequently took Burnett and her sister to the movies - as well as take a few rolls of toilet paper home from the theater. Years later, the movies she saw in her youth influenced the sketch content in *The Carol Burnett Show*.

 File:Hollywood Pacific Theater 2010.JPG
For a while, she worked as an usherette at the Warner Brothers Theater (now the Hollywood Pacific Theatre). When the cinema screened Alfred Hitchcock's *Strangers on a Train* (1951), having already seen and enjoyed the film, she advised two patrons arriving during the last five minutes of a showing to wait until the beginning of the next showing to avoid spoiling the ending for them, but the couple insisted on being seated. The manager observed Burnett not letting the couple in and fired her, stripping the epaulettes from her uniform on the spot. Years later in the 1970s after achieving TV stardom, when the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce offered her a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, they asked her where she wanted it. She replied "Right in front of where the old Warner Brothers Theater was, at Hollywood and Wilcox", which is where it was placed,**Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor\_id\_list' not found.** at 6439 Hollywood Blvd.

 File:Hollywood High School, Hollywood, California (21597930841).jpg
After graduating from Hollywood High School in 1951, she received an anonymous envelope containing $50 for one year's tuition at UCLA, where she initially planned on studying journalism. During her first year of college, she switched her focus to theatre arts and English, with the goal of becoming a playwright. She found she had to take an acting course to enter the playwright program; "I wasn't really ready to do the acting thing, but I had no choice." She followed a sudden impulse in her first performance; "Don't ask me why, but when we were in front of the audience, I suddenly decided I was going to stretch out all my words and my first line came out 'I'm baaaaaaaack!'" The audience response moved her deeply:Template:Cquote

During this time, she performed in several university productions, garnering recognition for her comedic and musical abilities. Her mother disapproved of her acting ambitions:Template:Cquote

The young Burnett, always insecure about her looks, responded many years later to her mother's advice of "You can always write, no matter what you look like" by noting "God, that hurt!" in her memoir *One More Time* (1986). During her junior year at UCLA in 1954, a professor invited Burnett and some other students to perform at a party in place of their class final that had been canceled (which required a performance in front of an audience). Afterwards, a man and his wife approached her while Carol was stuffing cookies in her purse to take home to her grandmother.

Instead of reprimanding her, the man complimented her performance and asked about her future plans. When he learned that she wished to travel to New York in order to try her luck in musical comedy but couldn't afford the trip, right then and there he offered her and her boyfriend Don Saroyan each a $1,000 interest-free loan. His conditions were simply that the loans were to be repaid within five years, his name was never to be revealed, and if she achieved success, she would help other aspiring talents to pursue their artistic dreams. Burnett took him up on his offer; she and Saroyan left college and moved to New York to pursue acting careers. That same year, her father died of causes related to his alcoholism.

## Career

### 1950s: Early career

After spending her first year in New York working as a hat-check girl and failing to land acting jobs, Burnett, along with other girls living at the Rehearsal Club, a boarding house for women seriously pursuing an acting career, put on *The Rehearsal Club Revue* on March 3, 1955. They mailed invitations to agents, who showed up along with stars like Celeste Holm and Marlene Dietrich, and this opened doors for several of the girls. She was cast in a minor role on *The Paul Winchell and Jerry Mahoney Show* in 1955. She played the girlfriend of a ventriloquist's dummy on the popular children's program. This role led to her starring role opposite Buddy Hackett in the short-lived sitcom *Stanley* from 1956-57.Template:Citation needed

 File:Carol burnett garry moore 1960.JPG
After *Stanley*, Burnett found herself unemployed for a short time. She eventually bounced back a few months later as a highly popular performer on the New York circuit of cabarets and night clubs, most notably for a hit parody number called "I Made a Fool of Myself Over John Foster Dulles" (Dulles was Secretary of State at the time). In 1957, she performed this number on both *The Tonight Show*, hosted by Jack Paar, and *The Ed Sullivan Show*. Dulles was asked about her on *Meet the Press* and joked, “I never discuss matters of the heart in public.”

She also worked as a regular on one of television's earliest game shows, *Pantomime Quiz*, during this time. In 1957, just as she was achieving her first small successes, her mother died.Template:Citation needed

Burnett's first true taste of success came with her appearance on Broadway in the 1959 musical *Once Upon a Mattress*, for which she was nominated for a Tony Award. The same year, she became a regular player on *The Garry Moore Show*, a job that lasted until 1962. She won an Emmy Award that year for her "Outstanding Performance in a Variety or Musical Program or Series" on the show. She portrayed a number of characters, most memorably the put-upon cleaning woman who later became her signature alter-ego. With her success on the *Moore Show*, Burnett finally rose to headliner status and appeared in the special *Julie and Carol at Carnegie Hall* (1962), co-starring with her friend Julie Andrews. The show was produced by Bob Banner, directed by Joe Hamilton, and written by Mike Nichols and Ken Welch.Template:Ref *Julie and Carol at Carnegie Hall* won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Program Achievement in the Field of Music, and Burnett won an Emmy for her performance. She also guest-starred on a number of shows during this time, including *The Twilight Zone* episode "Cavender Is Coming".

In 1964, Burnett starred in the Broadway musical *Fade Out – Fade In* but was forced to withdraw after sustaining a neck injury in a taxi accident. She returned to the show later but withdrew again to participate in a variety show, *The Entertainers*, opposite Caterina Valente and Bob Newhart. The producers of *Fade Out – Fade In* sued the actress for breach of contract after her absences from the popular show caused its failure, but the suit was later dropped. *The Entertainers* ran for only one season.**Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor\_id\_list' not found.**

Around the same time, she became good friends with Jim Nabors, who was enjoying great success with his series *Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.* As a result of their close friendship, she played a recurring role on Nabors' show as a tough corporal, later gunnery sergeant (starting with the episode "Corporal Carol"). Later, Nabors was her first guest on her variety show each season, as she considered him to be her good-luck charm.

In 1959, Lucille Ball became a friend and mentor to Burnett. After having guested on Burnett's highly successful CBS-TV special *Carol + 2* and having the younger performer reciprocate by appearing on *The Lucy Show,* it was rumored that Ball offered Burnett a chance to star on her own sitcom, but in truth Burnett was offered (and declined) *Here's Agnes* by CBS executives. The two women remained close friends until Ball's death in 1989. Ball sent flowers every year on Burnett's birthday. When Burnett awoke on the day of her 56th birthday in 1989, she discovered via the morning news that Ball had died. Later that afternoon, flowers arrived at Burnett's house with a note reading, "Happy Birthday, Kid. Love, Lucy."

### 1967–1978: *The Carol Burnett Show*

*Main article: The Carol Burnett Show*

 File:Carol Burnett show cast 1977.JPG
In 1967, CBS offered to put Burnett in a weekly comedy series called *Here's Agnes*. However, she had a stipulation in her ten-year contract with CBS that said she had five years from the date *The Garry Moore Show* ended to "push the button" on hosting thirty one-hour episodes of a music/comedy variety show. As a result, the hour-long *Carol Burnett Show* was born and debuted in September 1967, garnering 23 Emmy Awards and winning or being nominated for multiple Emmy and Golden Globe Awards every season it was on the air. Its ensemble cast included Tim Conway (who was a guest player until the ninth season), Harvey Korman, Lyle Waggoner, and the teenaged Vicki Lawrence, whom Burnett herself discovered and mentored. The network initially did not want her to do a variety show because they believed only men could be successful at variety, but her contract required that they give her one season of whatever kind of show she wanted to make. She chose to carry on the tradition of past variety show successes.

 File:Rita Hayworth Carol Burnett Carol Burnett Show 1971.JPG
A true variety show, *The Carol Burnett Show* struck a chord with viewers. Among other things, it parodied films (*Went With the Wind!* for *Gone With the Wind*), television (*As the Stomach Turns* for the soap opera *As the World Turns*) and commercials. Musical numbers were also a frequent feature. Burnett and her team struck gold with the original sketch "The Family", which eventually was spun off into its own television show called *Mama's Family*, starring Vicki Lawrence.Template:Citation needed

She opened most shows with an impromptu question-and-answer session with the audience, lasting a few minutes, during which she often demonstrated her ability to humorously ad lib. On numerous occasions, she obliged when asked to perform her trademark Tarzan yell.

She ended each show by tugging on her left ear, which was a message to her grandmother. This was done to let her know that she was doing well and that she loved her; during the show's run, her grandmother died. On an *Intimate Portrait* episode on Burnett, she tearfully recalled her grandmother's last moments: "She said to my husband Joe from her hospital bed 'Joe, you see that spider up there?' There was no spider, but Joe said he did anyhow. She said 'Every few minutes a big spider jumps on that little spider and they go at it like rabbits!!' And then she died. There's laughter in everything!" She continued the tradition of tugging her ear. The show ceased production in 1978. Four post-script episodes were produced and aired on ABC during the summer of 1979 under the title, *Carol Burnett & Company* basically using the same format and, with the exception of Harvey Korman and Lyle Waggoner, the same supporting cast. Beginning in 1977, the comedy sketches of her series were edited into half-hour episodes for syndication entitled *Carol Burnett and Friends*, which, for many years, proved to be extremely popular in syndication, and in January 2015, it began airing on MeTV.Template:Citation needed

The show's enduring popularity surprised many when a 2001 retrospective containing outtakes and discussions with the cast, and a tribute to Bob Mackie, drew in 30 million viewers, topping the Emmy Awards as well as all but the final game of that year's World Series. Her Grammy-winning memoir *In Such Good Company* is about the show, and Burnett tells about how it was developed, with anecdotes about improvisations, the cast, crew, and guests.Template:Citation needed

### 1980s: Film roles

 File:Carol Burnett - 1974.jpg
Burnett starred in a few films while her variety show was running, including *Pete 'n' Tillie* (1972). She was nominated for an Emmy in 1974 for her role in the drama *6 Rms Riv Vu*. After her show ended, she assumed a number of roles that departed from comedy. She appeared in several dramatic roles, most notably in the television movie *Friendly Fire*. She appeared as Beatrice O'Reilly in the film *Life of The Party: The Story of Beatrice*, a story about a woman fighting her alcoholism. Her other film work includes Alan Alda's *The Four Seasons* (1981), John Huston's *Annie* (1982), and Peter Bogdanovich's *Noises Off* (1992).

*Voice Roles'*
In 2008, she had her second role as an animated character in the film *Horton Hears a Who!*. Her first was in *The Trumpet of the Swan* in 2001. In 2012 she had another voice role in *The Secret World of Arrietty*.

### 1969–2015: Television roles

Burnett was the first celebrity to appear on the children's series *Sesame Street*, on that series' first episode on November 10, 1969. She also made occasional returns to the stage in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1974, she appeared at the Muny Theatre in St. Louis, Missouri, in *I Do! I Do!* with Rock Hudson, and eleven years later, she took the supporting role of Carlotta Campion in the 1985 concert performance of Stephen Sondheim's *Follies*. She made frequent appearances as a panelist on the game show *Password*, an association she maintained until the early 1980s (in fact, Mark Goodson awarded her his Silver Password All-Stars Award for best celebrity player; she's also credited with coming up with the title *Password Plus*, when it was originally planned to be titled *Password '79*).

In the 1980s and 1990s, she made several attempts at starting a new variety program. She also appeared briefly on *The Carol Burnett Show's* "The Family" sketches spinoff, *Mama's Family*, as her stormy character, Eunice Higgins. She played the matriarch in the cult comedy miniseries *Fresno*, which parodied the primetime soap opera *Falcon Crest*. She returned to TV in the mid-1990s as a supporting character on the sitcom *Mad About You*, playing Theresa Stemple, the mother of main character Jamie Buchman (Helen Hunt), for which she won another Emmy Award. In 1995, after an absence of 30 years, she was back on Broadway in *Moon Over Buffalo*, for which she was nominated for a Tony Award. Four years later, she appeared in the Broadway revue *Putting It Together*. In 2014, Burnett joined two-time Tony Award Winner, Brian Dennehy, on Broadway in A. R. Gurney's *Love Letters*.

Burnett had long been a fan of the soap opera *All My Children*, and realized a dream when Agnes Nixon created the role of Verla Grubbs for her in 1976. Burnett played the long-lost daughter of Langley Wallingford (Louis Edmonds), causing trouble for her stepmother Phoebe Tyler-Wallingford (Ruth Warrick). She made occasional appearances on the soap opera in each decade thereafter. She hosted a 25th-anniversary special about the show in 1995 and made a brief cameo appearance as Verla Grubbs on the January 5, 2005, episode which celebrated the show's 35th anniversary. She reprised her role as Grubbs in September 2011 as part of the series' finale.

She also starred in television films such as *Seasons of the Heart* (1994). She also returned in 2005 to star in a different role as Queen Aggravain in the movie version of *Once Upon a Mattress*. She guest-starred in season two of *Desperate Housewives* as Bree's stepmother, Elanor Mason.

In 2009, she made a guest appearance on the *Law & Order: Special Victims Unit*, for which she was nominated for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series. In November 2010, she guest-starred on an episode of *Glee* as the mother of cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester. She has made a recurring role, traditionally on Thanksgiving-themed episodes, of *Hawaii Five-0* as Steve McGarrett's Aunt Debbie since 2013, until Aunt Deb died from cancer in the January 15, 2016 episode.

### 2010's–Present

In 2010's aside from the occasional guest starring role on a television show, Burnett has mostly stayed away from the spotlight, receiving honorary awards for her groundbreaking work in comedy. In 2013 received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center. Those who were there to honor Burnett included her longtime friends and collaborators Julie Andrews, Vicki Lawrence, and Tim Conway as well as Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Rashida Jones, and Martin Short.

In 2017, CBS aired *The Carol Burnett 50th Anniversary Special*. The event featured Burnett, original cast members Vicki Lawrence and Lyle Waggoner, costume designer Bob Mackie, and special guests, Jim Carrey, Kristin Chenoweth, Stephen Colbert, Harry Connick Jr., Bill Hader, Jay Leno, Jane Lynch, Bernadette Peters, Maya Rudolph, and Martin Short. Burnett spoke about the adversity she endured, saying "They said it was a man's game — Sid Caesar, Dean Martin, Milton Berle — because it hadn't been done. But that doesn't mean it couldn't be done."

In 2020, the Golden Globes created an award in Burnett's name, the Carol Burnett Award, for career achievement in television. Burnett was also announced as the first recipient of the award. The Hollywood Foreign Press said in a statement "For more than 50 years, comedy trailblazer Carol Burnett has been breaking barriers while making us laugh" Steve Carell presented the award to Burnett.

## Personal life

Burnett married her college sweetheart Don Saroyan on December 15, 1955; they divorced in 1962.

On May 4, 1963, she married TV producer Joe Hamilton, a divorced father of eight, who had produced her 1962 Carnegie Hall concert; he later produced *The Carol Burnett Show* among other projects. The couple had three daughters:

* Carrie Hamilton, born (1963-12-05)December 5, 1963 – died January 20, 2002 (at age 38) of pneumonia as a complication of lung and brain cancer. She was an actress and singer.
* Jody Hamilton, born  (1967-01-18) January 18, 1967 (age 57)
* Erin Hamilton, born  (1968-08-14) August 14, 1968 (age 55). She is a singer.

Their marriage ended in divorce in 1984. The challenge of coping with Carrie's drug problems was mentioned as part of the reason for the separation, but the couple took the opportunity to inform other parents about handling such problems and raised money for the clinic in which Carrie was treated. In 1988, Burnett and Carrie took a trip to Moscow to help introduce the first Alcoholics Anonymous branch in the Soviet Union. Joe Hamilton died of cancer in 1991. Also in the '80s Burnett participated in a publicity campaign for MedicAlert, of which she is symbolically the
one-millionth member with the one-millionth bracelet.

On November 24, 2001, she married Brian Miller, principal drummer for the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, who is 23 years her junior.

She has enjoyed close friendships with Lucille Ball, Beverly Sills, Jim Nabors (who became the godfather to her daughter Jody), Julie Andrews and Betty White. She is the acting mentor to her protégée Vicki Lawrence. They share a close friendship, as noted by Lawrence in a testimonial speech during her appearance at Burnett's 2013 Mark Twain Award in Washington, D.C. (recorded and broadcast on PBS Television).

In a 2003 interview with Terry Gross on *Fresh Air*, Burnett said that both she and her daughter Jody had corrective dental surgery. Burnett had an overbite resulting in a weak chin, and her daughter had an underbite. After consulting the oral surgeon about Jody's bite, he said he could repair hers as well, giving her more of a chin, so both of them got operations. Prior to this, Burnett had worked on the 1982 film *Annie* and was called back to reshoot part of a scene after having recovered from the surgery. The scene involved her character entering and exiting a closet to retrieve a necklace. She told the director, John Huston, that she was concerned about her chin looking different from entering the closet to exiting it, and he simply told her to "look determined". The scene is still in the film.

In keeping with her promise to the anonymous benefactor who assisted her in 1954, she has contributed to scholarship programs at UCLA and the University of Hawaii to help people in financial need.

On June 25, 2019, *The New York Times Magazine* listed Carol Burnett among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire.

## Litigation

**Burnett v. National Enquirer, Inc**

*Main article: Burnett v. National Enquirer, Inc.*
In 1976, a false report in the nation's leading supermarket tabloid, *The National Enquirer,* incorrectly implied that Burnett had been drunk and boisterous in public at a restaurant with U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in attendance. The fact that both of her parents suffered from alcoholism made this a particularly sensitive issue to her. Through years of persistent litigation, she won a judgment against the *Enquirer*, in 1981. Though the initial jury award of $1.6 million was reduced to $200,000 by a series of appeals, and the final settlement was out of court, the event was widely viewed as a historic victory for libel victims of tabloid journalism.

The former longtime chief editor Iain Calder in his book *The Untold Story* asserted that after the Burnett lawsuit, while under his leadership, the *Enquirer* worked hard to check the reliability of its facts and its sources.

**Carol Burnett and Whacko, Inc. vs. Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation**

In 2007, Burnett and Whacko, Inc. brought a suit against Twentieth Century Fox requesting at least $2 million in damages, alleging copyright infringement, violation of publicity rights, and misappropriation of name and likeness due to the use of her charwoman character and an altered version of "Carol's Theme", the theme song used in *The Carol Burnett Show*, without her permission. The character and theme were used in the "Peterotica" episode of *Family Guy* when the characters discuss the cleanliness of a porn shop and one of them states it is so clean because Burnett works there as a janitor. The charwoman is shown mopping the floor in the porn shop, and the characters subsequently discuss Burnett's ear tug and make a crude comment about it. Burnett and her company requested that Fox remove all references to her, the theme and the character but the studio did not. The suit was ruled in favor of the defendant because the bit was a parody, which is protected by the First Amendment. The judge agreed that the portrayal was crude but stated that the character Burnett created was far more creative than anything the *Family Guy* team could come up with on their own.
