The Carol Burnett Show

As a senior in high school, Lawrence entered the Miss Fireball of Inglewood contest for the local firefighter's ball. In a story about the contest in the local paper, a reporter noted that Lawrence bore an uncanny resemblance to a young Carol Burnett. Encouraged by her mother, Lawrence subsequently wrote a letter to Burnett, who in turn showed up for the Miss Fireball contest to crown Lawrence as the winner. Burnett happened to be looking for an actress to play her younger sister on an upcoming television show, and Lawrence ended up landing the part a few months later. On the show, called "The Carol Burnett Show," she was shown the ropes by both Burnett and costarHarvey Korman, who taught her sketch comedy skills.

Lawrence became most famous on "The Carol Burnett Show" for her character Mama, whom she debuted in a sketch called "The Family" in the show's seventh season. Her Mama was the cold-hearted, purse-lipped, elderly widowed mother of Burnett's neurotic daughter character Eunice. Lawrence played many other characters on the show throughout the years, including Chris in the "Carol and Sis" sketches. Along with Burnett, she was the only continuous cast member during all 11 seasons of "The Carol Burnett Show" from 1967 to 1978.
