Thanks for the laughs: Carol Burnett is set to receive the 52nd SAG Life Achievement Award at the guild’s upcoming 22nd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.
“Carol Burnett is a creative dynamo and a comedic genius. She embodies the generosity and courage that the greatest actors use in creating enduring and memorable characters. From her heartbreakingly hilarious Starlet O’Hara to the adorably inept Eunice and alarmingly funny Miss Hannigan, Carol has delighted and inspired millions of viewers and thousands of comedic actors,” SAG-AFTRA President Ken Howard said.
He continued: “She took risks as a performer and through her courage, encouraged fellow actors to try new things and always, always reach for the sky.
