CAROL BURNETT
26 April 1933, aged 90
Carol Burnett is an American comedian, singer and actress who has worked on both stage and screen. She had her own TV program The Carol Burnett Show 1967–1978. Burnett is also best known for playing Miss Hannigan (Miss Agatha ‘Aggy’ Hannigan) in the film Annie (1982). The role was supposed to go to Bette Midler, and as much as we admire Midler; we are fortunate that Burnett gained the role because it is one of her best performances. Burnett has also appeared in: Toy Story 4 (2019), The Twilight Zone (1963), Calamity Jane (1963), The Lucy Show (1966-67), Get Smart (1967), here’s Lucy (1969-71), Sesame Street (1969-71, 74), The Sonny & Cher Show (1976), The Muppet Show (1980), The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1991), Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? (2021) & Trolls: Holiday in Harmony (2021).
Burnett was born in San Antonio, Texas, her mother was a publicity writer for movie studios and her father was a movie theatre director. She moved to an impoverished area of Hollywood to live with her grandmother who was a trained musician and took her to the movies which influenced her career. After school graduation she planned to study journalism but instead decided to go with arts and English instead, as she wanted to become a playwright. She started taking acting courses and performing in university productions which led to her career in acting, comedy, and singing.
Burnett has been married three times and has three children. Her daughter Carrie sadly died in 2002 aged 38 from pneumonia as a complication of lung and brain cancer.
She was close friends with Lucille Ball, Julie Andrews and Betty White. Burnett has written three memoirs, This Time Together (2010), Carrie and Me (2014) and In Such Good Company (2016).
