While some of the younger generations will have no idea who
Carol Burentt is or that she was one of the first woman to break the boundaries
of TV entertainment that was dominated by men at the time. The book is more of a stroll down memory lane
but with a little more behind the scenes of what really happened. She explains how she got in to the entertainment
business, the breaks she needed to start her own show and the many stories
behind what happened during some of the live taping of the show. For the younger generations, back then there
was no taping, editing and replaying it, what you saw on TV is what was happening
including the flubs, goofs and bloopers.
I remember watching Tim Conway on several occasions entering the stage and
within minutes does an ad lib, breaking up the cast members and then the audience goes into hysterics. For those of us who
remember watching her show you will be very interested in the behind the scenes
stories that she has and the interesting relationships she developed over the
eleven years she was on TV. A must read
for all baby boomers.
I received a free copy of this book from WaterBrook
Multnomah in exchange for my honest review of the book.
