The Life of Comedienne and Actress Carol Burnett

During the 1970s, one of the most recognized sketches on The Carol Burnett Show was the parody “Went With the Wind.” The sketch referenced the classic film Gone With the Wind, with her character appearing in a dress made from green curtains with the curtain rod still attached.

The costume and performance quickly became one of the most memorable moments from the series. The sketch demonstrated the show’s ability to parody well-known films while using elaborate costumes and physical comedy to create scenes that audiences continued to remember long after the episode aired.
