Description During 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.

Commentary About Books One More Time

Not boring exactly but way too much written about her childhood that only her kids would care about. The best parts are when she's talking about her struggles to become an actress but there's just too little of that. Then at the end there's a confusing chapter on heritage that rambles on confusingly about Creighton's and Melton's and DoDos and who is who's daddy. Boring. I wanted to read about her television and movie career.

I have always loved Carol Burnett. I grew up watching her on TV when I was little and she was just so funny. I happened to pick this book up and kept it on a shelf for months. Last night I was desperate and picked it up. I couldn't put it down! Much like the Betty White biography it is just a very interesting read. Just like she is talking to you. I never new much about her before. I always like it when you read about people who had such a tough upbringing and managed to pull them selves up by

Her storytelling and her experiences read like a novel. I was captured from page one and absolutely loved it the whole way through. The addition of the afterword concluded the story beautifully, adding heart and purpose to the book. Magnificent.

I never watched her show, and I didn't know the first thing about her career. In fact, my only real point of reference for Carol Burnett was her role as evil house mother Ms. Hannigan in the film version of "Annie." So this book was a pleasant surprise. In a sea of mediocre memoirs by mediocre celebrities, Ms. Burnett's sad and sweet story stands out with its honesty and accessibility. Her dysfunctional childhood is hosted by a cast of hilarious characters. I enjoyed this book so much more than

Never judge a book by it's cover. That's a good thing to keep in mind whenever you are selecting a book to read. I was wanting a light read after finishing a book that was very text heavy so I chose this book because it is about Carol Burnett, one of the greatest comediennes of all time; however this book was not a light read and full of laughs. On the contrary, it was very serious and sad. We find out the beginnings of Carol's life and how rough she had it growing up. In our wildest dreams

I have always admired Carol Burnett and this is one of the best books I've ever read. She grew up poor and parts of this book is so sad. I still never tire of The Carol Burnett Show with Eunice and mama. I can watch it over and over!

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
