My Take
Vicki Lawrence is, to me, a quiet pillar of American television comedy. Born in Inglewood and educated at UCLA, she rode The Carol Burnett Show from 1967 through its final season, won an Emmy in 1976, and later defined the role of Mama in Mama's Family. What impresses me is her range, comedian, actress and singer all at once, and her gift for slipping real human feeling into the laughs. Staying beloved at the front of the industry for decades is no small feat. I see her as one of the unsung architects of the variety-show era, and she deserves lasting respect.
