Carol Burnett’s career stretches all the way back to 1956, when TV was just hitting its stride.
Since that time, the actor’s enjoyed a lengthy career in TV and film.
She hosted and acted in comedic sketches on “The Carol Burnett Show” during the 1960s and 1970s.
Then, in 1982, Burnett delighted audiences with her on-screen performance as Miss Hannigan in “Annie.”
The comedy icon jumped at the chance.
“I flew back to New York and they had a whole story line for me.
I was on it for two weeks,” Burnett recalled toVulture.
Burnett went on to resume the role in 1995 to celebrate the soap’s 25thanniversary.
I really admire soap-opera actors, how they pull it off."
“I used to watch that religiously,” the comedy said on"Conan"in 2016.
After her three daughters got her interested in the soap, Burnett became a devoted viewer.
She’d often schedule her lunch break so she could watch it.
The actor recruited a friend to send her a telegram chronicling the soap’s plot points each week.
When the comedic actor burst out laughing at the situation, the manager mistakenly thought she was crying.
