Carol Burnett, turning 90 in April 2023, has enjoyed a career filled with remarkable achievements.
The Carol Burnett Show,” a groundbreaking comedy variety series on CBS, was one of the first to feature a female host.
However, alongside her success, Burnett has faced profound grief, notably the death of her daughter, Carrie Hamilton, in 2002.
Burnett told PEOPLE, “There’s not a day or almost a moment goes by that she’s not with me. We worked together, we laughed together, we cried together. She was a force.
Hamilton followed in her mother’s footsteps by pursuing an acting career, which included playing the role of Reggie Higgins in the TV series “Fame” and appearing in the movies “Tokyo Pop” and “Shag.”
Additionally, Hamilton collaborated with Burnett on several projects, such as a 1990 episode of “Carol & Company” and a play called “Hollywood Arms,” which was based on Burnett’s memoir about her upbringing.
