This Time Together: Laughter and Reflection

A touching and hilarious memoir by the author of <b><i>Carrie and Me: A Mother Daughter Love Story</i></b>,<b><i> This Time Together</i> </b>is 100 percent Carol Burnett – funny, irreverent, and irresistible.<br> <br>Carol Burnett is one of the most beloved and revered actresses and performers in America. <i>The Carol Burnett Show</i> was seen each week by millions of adoring fans and won twenty-five Emmys in its remarkable eleven-year run. Now, in <i>This Time Together</i>, Carol really lets her hair down and tells one funny or touching or memorable story after another – reading it feels like sitting down with an old friend who has wonderful tales to tell. <br> <br>In engaging anecdotes, Carol discusses her remarkable friendships with stars such at Jimmy Stewart, Lucille Ball, Cary Grant, and Julie Andrews; the background behind famous scenes, like the moment she swept down the stairs in her curtain-rod dress in the legendary “Went With the Wind” skit; and things that would happen only to Carol – the prank with Julie Andrews that went wrong in front of the First Lady; the famous Tarzan Yell that saved her during a mugging; and the time she faked a wooden leg to get served in a famous ice cream emporium. This poignant look back allows us to cry with the actress during her sorrows, rejoice in her successes, and finally, always, to laugh.<br><br><br><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>
