About Carol Burnett An iconic figure in the history of American television funny and a motivation to both female and male comics for almost 50 years, Carol Burnett rose from a difficult childhood to become one of the most cherished performers on television, both as a highlighted entertainer on series like "The Garry Moore Show" (CBS, 1950-1967) and as the star of her own well-known sketch comedy collection, "The Carol Burnett Show" (CBS, 1967-1978). Burnett was likewise an achieved musical entertainer, netting a Tony Award for her star-making Broadway launching in "Once Upon a Mattress" (1959). Though her succeeding series efforts never ever equaled the heights achieved by "The Carol Burnett Show," she was regularly hailed for her guest appearances on numerous sitcoms, as well as developed herself as a formidable impressive starlet with the 1979 TELEVISION movie, "Friendly Fire." Burnett also took pleasure in an erratic movie career, with jobs in movies like Robert Altman's.
