Carol Burnett, best known for her "The Carol Burnett Show," will be featured in an upcoming documentary on "American Masters."
Along with her TV series, Burnett also worked on the stage and in movies for over 60 years.
Her friends, including co-stars of "The Carol Burnett Show," Harvey Korman and Tim Conway showed up at screening of "Carol Burnett: A Woman of Character."
Tim Conway said concerning the variety show, "That show never would have been that successful, if it weren't for (Burnett). She was a star who let you do things. And most people, if something funny comes up, say, `I'll be doing that.' But she just let us do whatever we wanted."
Of course the antics of Tim Conway to get Harvey Korman to laugh on the stage are legendary.
Burnett who is now 74, will be a voice in the animated film "Horton Hears a Who!" along with Steve Carell and Jim Carrey.
The documentary profile "Carol Burnett: A Woman of Character" premieres Nov. 5 on PBS.
