Carol Creighton Burnett was born on April 26, 1933. She is an American actress, comedian, singer and writer whose career spans seventy years in the television industry.

She has achieved success in various genres such as stage, TV and film, including drama and comedy roles. She also appeared in panel discussions on various talk shows and game shows.

Carol Burnett was still one of the queens of comedy in Hollywood even in her 80s. She was featured in sitcom Stanley which didn’t stay on the air for long which later drove her to find fame in the New York Circuit of cabarets and nightclubs. But what she really counted as her first true success was her appearance on the Broadway show Once Upon a Mattress. She also earned multiple awards and nominations from her role in The Carol Burnett show. Her book titled In Such Good Company earned her an Oscar as well.  With all these achievements, she sure must have gotten some medical insurance along the way and picked up a few money management skills as well.
