Description Supposing Books One More Time

Carol Burnett spent most of her childhood in a Depression-scarred Hollywood neighborhood, where she lived in a single-room apartment with her endearingly batty grandmother, Nanny, a hypochondriacal Christian Scientist with a buried past. The child of two alcoholic parents, Burnett presents a sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking coming-of-age: from her sadly hopeful mother, who was hooked on Tinseltown fantasy, to the first signs of her own comic gift; from happy weekends spent with her father, to their last tragic meeting in a public sanatorium. Featuring a new Afterword by the author, about teaming up with her daughter to bring this story to Broadway, One More Time is an intimate, touching, and astonishing narrative of a financially desperate but emotionally rich childhood on the wrong side of Hollywood’s tracks.

Column Of Books One More Time

I think I've read most of the biographies of Carol Burnett and I didn't find much different in this one. It seemed as though they were using the things that had been taken out of the other biographies as needless to the overall story. So, as a first book of her life, it's fine. Otherwise, you've heard it all before.

5 stars for the story, (3 stars for the writing, It was a little disjo8inted at first, because it was random memories.) and 29 stars for Carole Burnett. I watched the Carole Burnett show as a kid and laughed many times. Ah - clean comedy, where art thou? Carole is one of those resilient and hardworking people. Talented too! Kudos to her for having the courage to follow her dream, despite her difficult childhood.

I never watched her show, and I didn't know the first thing about her career. In fact, my only real point of reference for Carol Burnett was her role as evil house mother Ms. Hannigan in the film version of "Annie." So this book was a pleasant surprise. In a sea of mediocre memoirs by mediocre celebrities, Ms. Burnett's sad and sweet story stands out with its honesty and accessibility. Her dysfunctional childhood is hosted by a cast of hilarious characters. I enjoyed this book so much more than

Thoroughly enjoyed this book! Her stories is a real rags to riches, I loved it. The stories made me laugh aloud and want to cheer her on as she pursued her dreams against great odds.

I always devour Carol's books. Her way of writing just sucks you in and you don't want out until you've read every single word. You can tell she loves writing and telling her story!

I think Carol Burnett is one of the funniest women of all time. I found this book on my parents' bookshelf years ago and thought it sounded interesting to learn a little more about her. After moving it with me to a couple of houses I finally opened the cover and started reading. After several chapters found I couldn't put it down. My only disappointment in reading the book written for her daughters was that she didn't talk much about their dad. I had to look up details myself to find that she

Burnett's memoir takes the form of a letter to her daughter. She focuses on her childhood and early struggles - the memoir stops in 1959, when she is cast in Once Upon a Mattress, becoming an "overnight success" after 10 years in the business. Her portraits of her difficult childhood raised by her domineering grandmother and alcoholic mother are imbued with humor and understanding - your realize these experiences are what made her a great comedian.
