We worked together, we laughed together, we cried together. She was a force.\u201d Much like her mother, Carrie pursued a career in acting, making her mark with the role of Reggie Higgins in the series \u201cFame\u201d and appearing in films like \u201cTokyo Pop\u201d and \u201cShag.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carrie\u2019s journey was not without its challenges. She bravely battled drug addiction and faced a formidable fight with lung cancer, which eventually spread to her brain. Tragically, she passed away in January the following year at just 38 years old. Burnett recounted, \u201cWhen she got sick, I remember she was in the hospital and I would go to see her every day. One day, a nurse at the hospital said, \u2018Carrie cheers us up.\u2019 I asked Carrie why she was always cheerful, and her reply was, \u2018Everyday I wake up and decide.\u2019 That\u2019s the key word, decide. I say that to myself every morning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/matheusfeed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/article-1115299-image-1.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/matheusfeed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/article-1115299-image-3.png\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beloved entertainer Carol Burnett, as she approaches her 90th birthday in April 2023, reflects on her illustrious career and the deep personal losses she\u2019s faced.
