Carol Burnett – Queen Of Comedy
September 21, 2015 @ 12:45 PM - 2:15 PM
Registration required; contact the organizer.
Carol Burnett is one of the funniest women ever to star on television. And on Broadway. And in films. She is also, by reputation, one of the nicest, most thoughtful and highly respected women in the history of show business. In this fast, fun and funny multimedia presentation we will watch representative clips from the many fabulous projects she has undertaken throughout her amazing career. Be ready to laugh!
However, there is another side of Carol Burnett, a deep and often unhappy personal background that she has risen above. From being neglected and abandoned by alcoholic parents to losing a child to coping with complex personal issues, her life has been far from easy. And yet she has consciously and purposefully made herself into a positive influence in the lives of others and a terrific role model for younger women coming up through show business. This unique presentation is a “don’t miss it treasure trove of laughs and fascinating, unexpected biography on a terrific talent and a wonderful woman.
