HOUSTON – There are plenty of A-List celebs who have a lengthy Hollywood resume, but then there’s CAROL BURNETT.
And at 91 years young, the legendary actress is showing no signs of slowing down!
Carol is currently starring as ‘Norma Dellacorte,’ in the Emmy-nominated Apple TV+ series ‘Palm Royale’ which was executive produced by Kristen Wiig and Academy Award winner Laura Dern.
The rest of the incredible cast features Allison Janney, Ricky Martin, Josh Lucas, Leslie Bibb, Amber Chardae Robinson, Mindy Cohn, Julia Duffy and Kaia Gerber, but also including extra special guest star turns by the legendary Bruce Dern and of course the iconic, multiple-award winning Carol Burnett.
The Emmy-nominated series is set during the powder keg year of 1969 and follows Maxine Simmons (Kristen Wiig) as she endeavors to break into Palm Beach high society. “Palm Royale” asks the same question that still baffles us today: “How much of yourself are you willing to sacrifice to get what someone else has?” The show is a testament to every outsider fighting for their chance to truly belong.
And speaking of Emmy’s, ‘Palm Royale’ has scored 11 Emmy Nominations at this year’s 76th award show (airing September 15th) including:
- Outstanding Comedy Series
- Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series: Kristen Wiig
