As if growing up during the Great Depression wasn’t difficult enough, Carol also had alcoholic parents. They often fought with her maternal grandmother who raised her and her sister. Her escapes were drawing and the movie theater, and she immediately fell in love with acting. A mysterious stranger gave her the money to start her career. Lucille Ball helped her land and then guest-starred on The Carol Burnett Show. She charmed everyone she knew from then on, including Julie Andrews, Vicki Lawrence, and, of course, the audience.
Carol has always been a go-getter who went from every career opportunity. It occasionally puts too much strain on her relationships, including the father of her 3 daughters, Joe Hamilton. Addiction reared its ugly head again with her first daughter, Carrie. She became an alcoholic and needed help. Carol knew she had to do something and, in her own words, you have to love your children enough to let them hate you. Their relationship eventually healed when Carrie got sober at the age of 18. It was great timing because neither one knew how little time they had left together. Lung cancer spread to her brain and took Carrie at the tender age of 38.
Carol’s oldest daughter Erin also became hooked on drugs. She had to take ownership of her grandson Dylan. Whether or not it’s a permanent arrangement, he’ll certainly have a life full of laughs and a grandmother to look up to.
