INTROWhether 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.
In addition to her work on TV, Miss Burnett has also won praise from critics and fans for her stage appearances in such shows as Once Upon a Mattress, Moon Over Buffalo, and the recent Putting It Together, as well as her performances in such films as The Front Page and Annie. Also a talented singer, Burnett has recorded a number of albums and original cast recordings.
In an interview with Dwight Blocker Bowers, cultural historian at the National Museum of American History, Burnett reminisces and reflects on the many entertainers who influenced her illustrious career, including her fond memories of her spiritual mentor, Lucille Ball.
