I have been very fortunate enough to be able to say I have not only met Carol Burnett but to be able to have a couple of minutes just to talk with her. I lived in an apartment building in Vancouver where they were shooting some production there. I walked out of my flat and literally ran into her. Just her and I. Not only was she so nice whilst I was star struct fumbling my words but she put me at ease by thanking me for letting them film there(had 0 input). She was so lovely and nice. I will always cherish and appreciate my two minutes getting to talk to her in that hallway. ❤

This elderly gentleman lives in the same condo as myself. He was a limo driver some years back and he said Carol was the nicest person he had ever met. She also tipped him twice. He also drove the limo for other famous people and I will not mention how they behaved.

The one thing I can say about Carol Burnett is she was visibly kind and human in a time when the world needed to see that. Without her show and her contagious nature unknowingly schooling the viewer and showing us the world would be a better place by wearing your heart on your sleeve and showing your feelings, letting them bleed through the mask you wear. She performs in such a way you see the character she wants you to see but you also somehow see in her eyes how she truly feels about the created person and what they are doing. If she is portraying someone mean spirated there is a regret underlying it somehow. She's Amazing! I just loved her in Annie!

I grew up on The Carol Burnett Show love this lady. I think she's underappreciated and underrated.

If you read Julie Andrew's autobiography you realise both she and Carol grew up in the same circumstances. Julie's mother became an alcholic because her step-father was, and eventually her mother followed. The man she grew up calling Daddy she found out was not her father. Singing as a teenager at some private party a man talked to her and later on Julie found out from her mother he was her father. While doing "My Fair Lady" in London this man appeared and made it known a relationship could be established. Julie felt this guy was trying to take away what was due her Daddy and nothing else happened. In no way did Julie Andrews' come from a high class background. I think this brought both of them together!

The Carol Burnett Show is one of the fondest memories I have from my childhood. My parents never missed an episode and it was a show that the entire family loved. Thanks, Carol.

Saturday nights as a kid was family night watching The Carol Burnett Show. Mom would treat us to either Jeno's pizza or popcorn and soda as part of the once in a lifetime experience. I am so glad we had those times together.
