About the Author

Actress and comedienne Carol Burnett was born on April 26th, 1933, in San Antonio, Texas. Her parents divorced in the late '30's and she moved to Hollywood, California, with her grandmother. She graduated from Hollywood High School in 1951 and won a scholarship to UCLA. She had intended to study mostrar mais journalism, but changed her focus to theatre arts and English, in the hopes of becoming a playwright. She was required to take an acting class in order to enter the playwright program, and experienced an immediate and lasting connection with the audience during her first performance. She left UCLA during her Junior Year to pursue a career in musical comedy in New York. She is probably best known for The Carol Burnett Show, which aired from 1967 to 1978. At the end of each show, she would tug on her ear as a special message to her grandmother. She has received many awards and accolades for her work on television, stage, and screen, including numerous Emmy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, a Peabody Award, the Kennedy Center Honors for 2003 and the 2013 Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. She is the author of several books, including One More Time: A Memoir, This Time Together: Laughter, Reflection and Carrie and Me: A Mother-Daughter Love Story, and In Such Good Company: Eleven Years of Laughter, Mayhem, and Fun in the Sandbox, which became a New York Times bestseller in 2016 .

This is a chronicle of her time with her TV show, which I loved. I was aware of many of the stories, perhaps mentioned in her autobiography. I owned all of her show DVDs. Honestly, if the whole series were available to stream, I'd watch them all.

Not as interesting as I wanted it to be, but it did stir fond memories of watching her variety show for so many years. It was good for some light quick-reading to give my brain a break.

I purchased this book for about $1.75 at our local Salvation Army. It's a pretty quick, high energy read just like you would expect from Carol Burnett. I can't say she had a wonderful life, but that she did live life wonderfully...full of spunk and personality. Published in 1985, she was 52 years old when she wrote her memoir. It spans the first 27 years of her life when she had finally landed a steady role on The Garry Moore Show.

I found it interesting to see how God divinely worked things out in her life inspite of her upbringing by her grandmother, who provided any ounce of stability at all, and her two alcoholic parents who ran off to Hollywood to find fame and fortune. The stories of her childhood were absolutely adorable and will have you laughing. You will admire her courage and struggles in finally making it as an actress in New York. There was never a dull moment. I really enjoyed this read and could hardly put the book down. I read it in two days. I could have read it in one, but I did have to eat and shower and say hello to my husband periodically.… (mais)

This memoir is focused on Carol's TV show. There are some new stories and many I've heard before. Hearing our old friend Carol tell them again, with enthusiasm and warmth, makes it worth the listen.
