The Life of Comedienne and Actress Carol Burnett

In 1988, she traveled to Moscow with her daughter Carrie Hamilton during a period when Alcoholics Anonymous groups were beginning to form in the Soviet Union. The trip was connected to growing international efforts to support addiction recovery programs.

Carrie had become active in recovery after overcoming her own struggles with substance abuse. During the visit, the two participated in meetings and discussions connected to early AA outreach efforts, reflecting their shared interest in supporting recovery communities.
