The Life of Comedienne and Actress Carol Burnett

In 1984, she and television producer Joe Hamilton ended their marriage after more than two decades together. Hamilton had played a significant role in producing many of her television projects, including The Carol Burnett Show.

The divorce marked the end of both a long personal relationship and a professional partnership. By that time, their daughter Carrie Hamilton had grown up and begun pursuing her own career in entertainment as an actress and writer.
