Besides the many birthday tributes, there were many excerpts from Burnett's variety show (many in black and white, some in color). Amazing that she is still with us at 90 years -- and still performing as an actress on television. Probably one of the funniest tributes was the one from the actor who plays Saul Odenkirk (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul), who agonized over the fact that his character would contemplate "killing Carol Burnett!!" |

Mary Rodgers died around 2014, and was the daughter of Richard Rodgers, he of Rodgers and Hart and also Rodgers and Hammerstein. Her life was not easy, and she had a lethal wit, much in evidence in Shy. She has nothing but good to say about Carol Burnett, though. |
