Among her movie roles was the film adaptation of Annie and she’s currently starring in an AppleTV+ hit show.

Carol started her career in 1959 when she had a breakout success in Once Upon a Mattress on Broadway.

She won her first Emmy Award for her appearance on The Garry Moore Show in 1962.

Carol moved back to Los Angeles and started her 11-year run as the star of The Carol Burnett Show on CBS from 1967 to 1978.

Her show included comedy sketches and built on the vaudeville style of comedy. 

Burnett created many memorable characters during the show’s run, and both she and the show won 25 Emmy Awards.

She went on to appear in a number of film and television series including Annie, Better Call Saul and Palm Royale.

Carol became the oldest Emmy nominee in history when she was nominated for her role in Palm Royale.

At 91, Carol has done almost everything there is to do in showbiz and she recently mused about who would play her in a biopic.

The iconic star envisions a film about her illustrious life starring the one and only Oscar-winning beauty, Angelina Jolie.

During an interview with E! News, Burnett enthusiastically affirmed her choice of the 49-year-old actress, exclaiming, ‘I think she’s perfect.’

Her Palm Royale costar Kristen Wiig chimed in with a resounding, ‘Yes.’

Burnett also revealed that she agreed to her part in the AppleTV+ series Palm Royale without reviewing the script, basing her decision solely on the esteemed cast involved.

Ricky Martin, Josh Lucas, and Leslie Bibb join Burnett and Wiig in the period comedy about an ‘ambitious woman scheming to secure her seat at America’s most exclusive table: Palm Beach high society circa 1969,’ per the show’s website.

Burnett remarked, ‘When they called me about doing it, I didn’t even have to read a script. I said, “I’m in,’”because of who I would be working with, and that was it.

‘And then I read the script and that was the icing on the cake.’

And last year all she wanted for her 91st birthday was a second season of Palm Royale which she got, though a premiere date hasn’t been set yet.

She stated, ‘Well, I hope there’s a second season, you know, then that’ll keep me working, which I like. Yes, as long as I have fun, and that’s what I want.

‘I always approach it as something new that I’ve never done before, so I’m just happy to be working and that I’ve got all my parts. I 

‘I have my hips and my knees — and I think my brain — so as long as I can keep that up and work, then I want to work.’
