Carol Burnett reaches the big 080: Happy B-Day to you

“I'm glad I was born when I was. My time was the golden age of variety. If I were starting out again now, maybe things would happen for me, but it certainly would not be on a variety show with 28 musicians, 12 dancers, two major guest stars, 50 costumes a week by Bob Mackie. The networks just wouldn't spend the money today.”
~~ Carol Burnett

American actress, comedienne, singer, and writer; best known for her long-running TV variety show on CBS, The Carol Burnett Show.


From her signature Tarzan yell and left ear pinch what comes to mind whenever I think of Carol Burnett is her amazing accomplishments and presence in the industry. She has achieved so much success on stage, television -- a dozen years of CBS' "The Carol Burnett Show" -- and film in varying genres including dramatic and comedy roles. Happy birthday Carol Burnett!

Born, Carol Creighton on April 26th, 1933, in San Antonio, Texas, Burnett was the daughter of Ina Louise (née Creighton), a publicity writer for movie studios, and Joseph Thomas Burnett, a movie theater manager.



Burnett married Don Saroyan on December 15, 1955; they divorced in 1962. On May 4, 1963, Burnett married TV producer Joe Hamilton, a divorced father of eight, who had produced her 1962 Carnegie Hall concert and would produce The Carol Burnett Show, among other projects. The couple had three daughters: Carrie Hamilton December 5, 1963, died on January 20, 2002 Jody Hamilton January 18, 1967 (age 46) Erin Hamilton August 14, 1968 (age 44)

Their marriage ended in divorce in 1984, and Hamilton died of cancer in 1991. On November 24, 2001, Burnett married Brian Miller (principal drummer in and contractor of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra), who is 23 years her junior.

In January 2002, Burnett's daughter Carrie died of lung and brain cancer at the age of 38. She had become addicted to drugs as a teenager. Burnett and Carrie wrote a play together called Hollywood Arms, which was adapted from Burnett's bestselling memoir, One More Time.

The Broadway production featured Linda Lavin as the Burnett character's beloved grandmother, Sara Niemietz and Donna Lynne Champlin shared the role of Helen (Carol Burnett), and Michele Pawk played the role of the mother, Louise. For her performance, Pawk received the 2003 Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Play.

Burnett's daughter Erin became a singer. Since the 1960s, Burnett has been best friends with Julie Andrews. Burnett is the godmother of Julie's first child Emma Walton Hamilton.

Will Google celebrate Carol Burnett’s 80th Birthday?

Google celebrates 81st birthday of Miriam Makeba

“Girls are the future mothers of our society, and it is important that we focus on their well-being.”
~~ Miriam Makeba

(4 March 1932 – 9 November 2008)


Google celebrates 81st birthday of Miriam Makeba, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miriam_Makeba nicknamed Mama Africa, who was a Grammy Award-winning South African singer and civil rights activist. Makeba was the first artist from Africa to popularize African music in the U.S. and around the world.

Born Zenzile Miriam Makeba, Makeba’s famous song was “Pata Pata,” also a dance that was first released in 1957 and released in the U.S. ten years later.


She actively campaigned against the South African system of apartheid. As a result, the South African government revoked her citizenship and right of return in 1959 and was exiled for 30 years. As the apartheid system crumbled she returned home for the first time in 1990.


In 1966, Makeba received the Grammy Award for Best Folk Recording together with Harry Belafonte for “An Evening with Belafonte/ Makeba.”

Miriam Makeba was amongst the several popular artists that took part in the Nelson Mandela 70th birthday tribute festival on 11 June 1988.

Makeba died after a massive heart attack on 9 November 2008 (at 76 years old) after performing in a concert in Italy organized to support writer Roberto Saviano in his stand against the Camorra, a mafia-like organization local to the region of Campania that murdered Ghanian immigrants.



Today, March 4, 2013 Google celebrated Miriam Makeba with an artistic African motif styled doodle.
