This Time Together: Laughter and Reflections

This Time Together: Laughter and Reflections
by Carol Burnett [Compact Disc Biography Burnett]

Although not her first autobiographical offering, this is a good overview of her life and career for those who love her work and those who may not know much about her. And I can't imagine anyone BUT Carol Burnett narrating her own memoirs. From the young girl who was raised primarily by her grandmother to the renowned comedienne/actress/variety performer, she is an American icon and American success story, whose luck and talent has been tempered by tragedy. Oddly, although she mentions her middle husband, Joe Hamilton, who was the father of her children and the producer of the venerated "Carol Burnett Show", she doesn't really talk about him much. All in all, it's a good and not overly long 'listen'. There is a small amount of adult language, and Carol becomes quite emotional on the chapters about the deaths of a young fan and her own daughter, Carrie. -- recommended by Becky W.C. - Walt Branch Library
