Carol Burnett, the legendary American actress and comedian, remains a force to be reckoned with at 91. Best remembered for her groundbreaking show, “The Carol Burnett Show,” which aired from 1967 to 1978, she continues to captivate audiences with her talent. She now stars in the Apple TV+ series “Palm Royale,” set in 1969 Palm Beach, Florida.
Born on April 26, 1933, in San Antonio, Texas, Burnett’s journey to stardom was not without challenges. Raised by her grandmother due to her parents’ struggles with alcoholism, she found solace in theater and eventually pursued it at the University of Southern California.
Burnett’s breakthrough came in 1957 on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” where she debuted with a comedic song lampooning Elvis Presley’s fans. This performance catapulted her to fame overnight.
Despite her age, Burnett continues to shine, proving that true talent knows no bounds. As she once said, “I’m glad I was born when I was. My time was the golden age of variety.”
