Explanation Toward 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.

Discuss Based On Books One More Time
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.



I always love me some Carol Burnett.I don't know why this wasn't on my shelves here, but I know I read it a long time ago because I remember:1) She had a relative who was always threatening to have "hissy fits." (Granny, maybe?)2) I was impressed by the length and detail of the letters between Carol and one of her relatives. (Maybe also Granny?)

An excellent memoir by Carol Burnett, full of tears, hardship, as well as laughs. Also included are some rare photos, letters and funny stories in between the difficult dysfunctional family moments. Her voice comes across as down-to-earth as she was on her television show. Highly recommend.

I absolutely loved this book. I shed a few tears reading this book. I have always been a huge fan of Carol Burnett, I never missed her comedy show on CBS on Saturday night when I was a kid. I now have a new appreciation for her. Reading this book made me realize what a wonderful person she really is too and that we need more compassionate and loving people like her in this world. It made my heart sad that there aren't. I personally need to do better. We all do. Her story is truly a rag to riches

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

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.
