This month, Alice Kubistal chose This Time Together: Laughter & Reflection, by Carol Burnett, listening time, 6.5 hours, book # DB070853 in the TBBS catalog. Carol Burnett is one of the most beloved & revered actresses & performers in America. The Carol Burnett Show was seen each week by millions of adoring fans & won twenty-five Emmys in its remarkable eleven-year run. Now, in This Time Together, Carol really lets her hair down & tells one funny or touching or memorable story after another. In engaging anecdotes, Carol discusses her remarkable friendships with stars such as Jimmy Stewart, Lucille Ball, Cary Grant, & 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; & 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; & 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, & finally, always, to laugh.
RSVP with Melissa at: (847) 510-2060.
