| Biography:
Carol Burnett: Just Have A Laugh VHS
Carol
Burnett, An Intimate Portrait:
Carol Burnett became one of America's
best-loved comedians and TV stars, thanks mostly
to her warm persona and her willingness to twist
her face into impossible grimaces. Now, looking
back on her career, she has a lot to be proud
of: triumphing over a grim childhood of poverty
and abandonment; forging a career in the early
days of television on Garry Moore's show, then
realizing her dream of appearing on
Broadway--under the direction of George Abbott,
no less--in Once Upon a Mattress; raising
three daughters and helping one, Carrie
Hamilton, beat a terrible drug problem; and of
course, starring in her CBS variety show that
ruled the ratings for 10 seasons. You won't
learn much new about Burnett's life or career
from this Intimate Portrait, but if
you're a fan, you'll find it as straightforward
and comfortable as the woman herself--not a bad
deal. --Anne Hurley
