Like many comic stars, Carol Burnett grew up in a rough home. Both her mother and father were alcoholics, and Burnett's
earliest memories are of the knockdown, drag-out fights her parents would engage in. Thankfully, Burnett found a way to deal
with the stress: laughter. She loved nothing more than losing herself in laughter and helping others do the same, and she
dedicated her life early on to living life to the fullest through laughter. She continues that noble work today with her latest
tour that brings her classic jokes as well as new ones to life onstage and to audiences new and old. Get your Carol Burnett

conferred by the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans. For Burnett, this isn't just another trophy to stick
on the mantle, a line on a resume or feather in her cap. It's a personal victory, a vindication for a life well served, one

resulted from a life filled with emotional abuse and the ravages of poverty, and to be honored with such a distinction was
for her a dramatic moment. She continues to give back to her audience, the people who gave her so much and encouraged her
to pursue her comedy, and she makes sure to that everyone every time she gets onstage by delivering knockout performances.
