Carol Burnett has always been one of my favorite actresses/comedians. I loved this book! Some chapters made me laugh out loud and others touched my heart. I was sorry when the book ended.

Book on CD narrated by the author
Subtitle: Laughter and Reflection.
In this memoir Carol Burnett chronicles her show business career, from her early roles in New York, to headlining her incredibly popular variety show and beyond.
I love Carol Burnett. She is truly an American Treasure. She’s a huge star with legions of adoring fans, and yet she can be completely star-struck and awkward when meeting one of HER idols. In performing she gives all her heart to a role and to her audience.
I can’t remember the last time I read a book that had me both howling out loud in uncontrollable laughter (I’m talking my husband coming from the other side of the house to see what’s going on), and crying to the point where I had to put it aside for a moment because I literally could not see the words on the page for my tears. That speaks, I think, to the genuine person Burnett is, and to her generosity of spirit to lay it all out there.
Burnett narrates the audiobook herself. I cannot imagine anyone who could do a better job.
