irreverent, and irresistible.
Carol Burnett is one of the most beloved and revered actresses and
performers in America. The Carol Burnett Show was seen each
week by millions of adoring fans and won twenty-five Emmys in its
remarkable eleven-year run. Now, in This Time Together,
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.
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.

These short memories, of the people Burnett met and interviewed
over the years, on- and off-camera, bring it back — the golden age
of variety shows….Burnett has a writer’s eye for the moment, the
detail, the slip that reveals character. She’s never mean and
always grateful.
—Los Angeles Times
“Carol was a huge star on television because she was funny, daring,
and always genuine. We loved Carol because we felt we knew
her. With this book, we do. She trusts us with her personal
anecdotes, happy, sad, hilarious and poignant. Thank you Carol.
“
—Billy Crystal
“I read THIS TIME TOGETHER in one sitting and when I finished I
felt like Carol had been sitting beside me telling me these
wonderful stories of her life. It’s funny, it’s endearing and very
moving. I cannot recommend it highly enough.”
—Julie Andrews
“I grew up watching Carol Burnett. She’s an amazing actress,
talented writer and legendary comedienne. She inspired me to
do what I’m doing today. And believe me, if I knew how to read, I
would definitely read this book.”
—Ellen DeGeneres
” I love this book because it’s written the way she talks–nothing
stilted, nothing distanced. You’ll read it in one gulp (I did) and
then you’ll read it again. She’s an excellent writer–so spot-on
intelligent and hilarious.
—Hal Prince
“Reading Carol Burnett’s book, THIS TIME TOGETHER, makes me realize
that every American family prays that they can have someone as
lovely as Carol as their next door neighbor.”
—Tony Bennett
