CAROL BURNETT
BIRTH DATE: April 26, 1933, San Antonio, Texas
BIRTH NAME: Carol Creighton Burnett
CLAIM TO FAME: She's had a long and extremely successful
career. It's hard to just point to one thing that she's
most famous for. But I guess you have to say it's her
comedy/variety show that aired on CBS called, 'The Carol
Burnett Show.'
FAMILY LIFE: Brian Miller (November 2001 - present)
Joe Hamilton (4 May 1963 - 1984) (divorced) 3 children
Don Saroyan (15 December 1955 - December 1962) (divorced)
INFO: Whether on television, movie screens, or the Broadway
stage, Carol Burnett has endeared herself to generations of
audiences as one of the world's most dynamic and beloved
comediennes. Beginning with her wacky, inspired antics as a
regular in the early 1960s on The Garry Moore Show, she
attained legendary status as the star of the Carol Burnett
Show, the long-running, Emmy Award-winning CBS-TV variety
series.

TRIVIA: Was forced to drop out of the 1964 Broadway musical
"Fade Out, Fade In" after sustaining a neck injury in a taxi
accident. The show's producers sued her for breach of contract,
but the suit was later dropped.
In 1981, she successfully sued the "National Enquirer" for libel,
prompted by its article describing her alleged public drunkenness
during an altercation with then-Secretary of State Henry Kissinger
while in a Washington restaurant. The case remains a landmark in
the study of libel cases involving celebrities, even though the
unprecedented $1.6 million verdict (including $300,000 in personal
damages and $1.3 million in "punitive" damages) was later reduced
on appeal and the case was eventually settled out of court. Burnett
donated the money to charity. She said she pursued the lawsuit
because, as the daughter of two deceased alcoholics, the gossip
paper's fabrication wounded her emotionally and that they should
be punished for their irresponsibility when writing lies about
celebrities.
Daughter Erin Hamilton was Miss Golden Globe 1993.
Considered Jim Nabors to be her good luck charm. He appeared as a
guest on the first episode of "The Carol Burnett Show" (1967), and
when the show took off, she had him back on the first episode of
every season.
When asked, on her show, who her favorite actor was, she replied,
"Anthony Hopkins - you know, the little English guy?"
Lost her daughter, Carrie Hamilton, on January 20, 2002 to lung
and brain cancer.
Used to work as an usherette in a movie theater in Hollywood.
Years later, when she received a star on the Hollywood Blvd.
Walk of Fame, she asked for it to placed in front of the theater
where she used to work.
1985: Inducted into the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences
Hall of Fame.
Received Special Tony Award in 1969. She was also twice nominated
for the Tony Award: in 1960, as Best Actress (Musical) for "Once
Upon a Mattress," a performance she recreated in a television
special of the same name, Once Upon a Mattress (1972) (TV); and
in 1996, as Best Actress (Play) for "Moon Over Buffalo."
Was a good friend of Lucille Ball, with whom she appeared several
times on "The Lucy Show" (1962).
At age 10, comedian Jim Carrey sent her his resume.
Awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George
W. Bush on 9 November 2005. Other recipients were Frank Robinson,
Muhammad Ali, Gen. Richard Myers, Paul Rusesabagina, Andy Griffith,
Aretha Franklin, Vint Cerf and his Internet co developer Robert Kahn,
Jack Nicklaus, Alan Greenspan, and former congressman G.V. "Sonny"
Montgomery.
Lucille Ball gave Carol her first baby shower.
Has appeared in three different television adaptations of "Once
Upon A Mattress", the Broadway version of the fairy tale "The
Princess and the Pea." In the 1964 and 1972 versions, she played
Princess Winnifred. 33 years later, she played Queen Aggravain in
the 2005 Disney adaptation.
Best friends with Julie Andrews
"Bob Mackie' is her favorite designer. She often wore his
costumes for the Carol Burnett Show.
Her famous left ear pulling during all on-camera
appearances is a way of saying "Hello" to her late grandmother.
It was her grandmother who raised her and took her to the
movies all the time.
Besides her left ear pull.. she's also well-known for her
Tarzan yell
WHERE IS SHE NOW: Carol still is working. She is scheduled to be
in an upcoming movie called 'The Last Guy on Earth.'
She also just appeared on All My Children which is her favorite
soap opera.
And if you watch Desperate Housewives you may remember Carol making
an appearance last year.
She also seems to be busy being honored or receiving some kind
of award.
