The Carol Burnett Show One of Burnett's insightful actions, as she constructed her characters and her persona, was to draw on the contradictions that informed her artistic evolution. Burnett had been deeply influenced by classical Hollywood films during her childhood, and she and her writers drew from a copious knowledge of motion pictures to design film-related skits. On the other hand, Burnett's Charwoman character, her dysfunctional and beleaguered "Family" member, Eunice, her zestful Tarzan call, and her weekly question-and-answer sessions with the studio audience gave her an accessibility and down-to-earth warmth that firmly reinstated her back within the world of her viewers. www.museum.tv /archives/etv/C/htmlC/carolburnett/carolburnett.htm   (999 words)

In Retrospect: Charles Burnett Burnett has made a career in filmmaking without abandoning the principles that guided his earliest work—a fundamental commitment to render the complex lives of his characters in the most nuanced detail and an unerring respect for the sensibilities of his audiences. Burnett takes an all-too-common social problem facing low-income families, the cycle of eviction and homelessness, and deftly transforms it into a celebratory lesson on the value of community. In 1990, Burnett’s slice-of-life masterpiece was proclaimed a "national treasure" by the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress, and this year it has been honored by the Sundance FilmFestival as one of the first films named to the Sundance Collection. www.harvardfilmarchive.org /calendars/00marapr/burnett.htm   (687 words)

T-Bone Burnett Burnett released his solo debut, "Truth Decay" in 1980, which many consider to be one of his finest efforts. Burnett often used both as a vehicle for social comment, as in bitter cameos like "A Ridiculous Man" (from Trap Door) and "Madison Avenue" (Truth Decay). Burnett's album release schedule was inconsistent owing to his successful production career through the '80s. members.tripod.com /~tbonepage   (495 words)

TIME 100: Leo Burnett But Leo Burnett, the jowly genius of the heartland subconscious, is the man most responsible for the blizzard of visual imagery that assaults us today. Burnett forged his reputation around the idea that "share of market" could only be built on "share of mind," the capacity to stimulate consumers' basic desires and beliefs. Burnett's creativity was in stark contrast to that of some of his contemporaries, who built advertising companies around research and marketing expertise. www.time.com /time/time100/builder/profile/burnett.html   (495 words)

Penguin Reading Guides The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett The move from industrial England to rural America was for the family a journey to the green, natural world that would become a central theme in many of Burnett's later works, including The Secret Garden. In September of 1873 she married Swann Burnett, a doctor from Tennessee who was preparing to specialize in the treatment of the eye and ear. Throughout The Secret Garden, Burnett seamlessly intertwines the elements of her craft, moving easily between the teasing narrative and dialogue that speaks to a child and the strands of dramatic development, complex characters, theme, and symbolism. www.penguinputnam.com /static/rguides/us/secret_garden.html   (1721 words)

NPR Weekend Edition Saturday: T Bone Burnett Burnett has a different approach: He shuns the current trend of using computer programs to do what was once an artist's job, and continues to use classic equipment.

The Carol Burnett Show: TVparty Carol Burnett got her start in off-Broadway theatre, first achieved national attention with a novelty tune entitled "I Made A Fool Of Myself Over John Foster Dulles" (Eisenhower's prim Secretary of State - don't ask), then made her way to television via appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show. Burnett's first regular series role was on a sitcom called 'Stanley' (Sept. 1956 - March 1957) - one of those early TV shows with a high-quality pedigree that failed to catch on. Carol Burnett's last special in 1967 before starting her long-running variety series was the closest thing she had done to a straight-ahead variety show format since leaving the Gary Moore Show. www.tvparty.com /vaburnett.html   (719 words)

Mark Burnett - Saving the world one reality show at a time. By Bryan Curtis Burnett sees his show's übercop as a plausible alternative to the feds: "They're tied up with terrorism and war right now," he told Variety, "and there's only so much they can do."
