Carol Burnett

‘Palm Royale’ May Be Carol Burnett’s Last Acting Gig, But Her Hollywood Career Will Continue

by Peace A

Carol Burnett

After an impressive career run in Hollywood, Carol Burnett is prioritizing fun over work as she ages. She is currently starring in Apple TV +’s comedy Palm Royale as Norma Delacorte, a.k.a Queen of Palm Beach, who is a rich and conniving aunt to Kristen Wigg’s Vera Delvecchio.

Despite being in a comma and having no dialogue in the first three episodes of Palm Royale, Carol earned an Emmy nomination for her role, making her the oldest woman to ever receive a nod for the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series category.

Carol has been in business for about seven decades, her first shot being The Garry Moore Show, where she was the supporting comedian. She left the program in the late ‘70s after landing a decade-long contract with CBS, which demanded 30 episodes of a variety show that lasted one hour from her.

CBS pitched Here’s Agnes to Carol instead, saying comedy variety was a man’s game. Five years in, Carol started The Carol Burnett Show, which lasted for 11 years. While Carol will be staying off-camera after Palm Royale, she is currently working on two series that are secret for now.

Carol Burnett may get back on set for this reason

Carol clarified that a cameo or something fun could get her back behind the cameras, adding that screenwriter Vince Gilligan is the one person she can never refuse. Vince is working on a new series starring Rhea Seehorn, and Carol would not think twice if he asked her to make an appearance.

Having spent most of her life in Hollywood, the 91-year-old pointed out the unending exploitation of women in the industry, noting that the problem of equal pay still stands despite the changes that have occurred in the world. She made efforts to demand that actresses be paid just as much as actors, but to little to no avail. However, this has not stopped Carol from going for what she wants, even in her nineties.
