Carol Burnett is not only a gifted actress but also a doting mother to her kids. She and her ex-husband, Joe Hamilton, had welcomed three beautiful girls when they were together.

Born in San Antonio, Texas, Carol Burnett didn't always dream of being an actress. She had enrolled in the University of California, Los Angeles, with dreams to become a playwright someday, but that changed when she moved to New York City with her then-boyfriend, Don Saroyan.

Burnett's career took off when she made her television debut on a children's show called "The Winchell-Mahoney Show" in the 1950s. She went on to become a regular on "The Garry Moore Show" in 1959.

Besides being a popular TV host, Burnett has also appeared in a number of feature films including "The Front Page," "Pete 'n' Tillie," "Annie," "Noises Off," and "Post Grad."
