'Mama's Family' star Vicki Lawrence recently opened up about her relationship with Carol Burnett. The actresses co-starred on the hit variety/sketch comedy TV series 'The Carol Burnett Show' for 11 seasons, from 1967 to 1978. However, the two, who shared a strong friendship, had a falling-out during the filming of 'The Carol Burnett Show's' spinoff series 'Mama's Family.
In a 2019 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Lawrence credited Burnett with introducing her to her future spouse. 'Carol found my husband for me,' Lawrence said. 'Al had just gotten into the makeup union. And Carol was sitting in her dressing room, and Al walked by. She told her secretary that he was adorable and wanted him on the show. Carol has been largely responsible for most everything in my adult life.
In 2002, Carrie died of cancer at the age of 38. Burnett and Hamilton's daughter Erin has also struggled with drug addiction. In 2020, Burnett and her third husband, Brian Miller, became temporary legal guardians of Erin's teenage son Dylan due to Erin's substance abuse issues. 'I feel bad for her for all she's been through,' Lawrence said of Burnett. 'You know, she hasn't had an easy time. Carol, God love her,' she continued.
think the most important thing that I learned from Carol is how the business of show business should run,' Lawrence said. 'It should be fun, and if it's not fun, you're doing it wrong. 'It's gotten to be such a tough business,' she added. 'I was just so lucky to be raised on ‘The Carol Burnett Show’ by the best teachers in the world. So, what happened to me just doesn't happen to anybody else.
