SUMMARY:Carol Burnett - Queen Of Comedy
DESCRIPTION:  \nCarol 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 entire history of show business! In this fast\, fun\, and funny multimedia presentation\, we will watch hilarious\, rare\, and wonderful clips from the many fabulous projects Carol Burnett has undertaken throughout her amazing career. Be ready to laugh! \n \n  \nHowever\, there is another\, quite unexpected side of Carol Burnett that we will explore. Her story reveals a dysfunctional and often unhappy personal background. Carol Burnett’s autobiography clarifies how difficult it was to rise for our favorite comedienne to emerge from her chaotic childhood. Carol Burnett was neglected and abandoned by alcoholic parents\, endured losing a child\, and had to cope with complex personal issues. Despite all that\, she has a reputation as one of the kindest and most compassionate people in show business. And yet\, she has consciously and purposefully made herself a positive influence in others’ lives and a terrific role model for younger women coming up through show business. \nThis unique presentation is a “don’t miss its treasure trove of laughs and a fascinating\, unexpected biography on a terrific talent and a wonderful woman. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Dick Van Dyke Show: Leading Television Into The 60s
DESCRIPTION:The Dick Van Dyke Show is well remembered as one of the wittiest situation comedies in the history of television. \nWhat is less well remembered is that Carl Reiner’s creation was a tremendously influential but deceptive innovator. The DIck Van Dyke Show contrasts sharply with the situation comedies of the 1950s; in fact\, it ushers in a new era. It was the first sitcom to be set in suburbia\, to feature both the world of work AND a fully developed home life as a central focus\,the first show to offer rich and consistent backstories for all the characters\, the first to present a modern housewife as well as the first show to feature a professional woman in the workplace. \nThis unique presentation will highlight one of the most iconic programs and early TV history.  Click here to see a brief preview video about this program! \nLIVE AND IN PERSON! \nTHIS PROGRAM IS PRESENTED BY THE NORTHBROOK SENIOR CENTER. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. \nCLICK HERE FOR REGISTRATION
