 Lawrence Library: Carol Butts Memorial   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Carol was not only steeped in Lawrence's history professionally, but also personally, which may explain in part her professional interest in her alma mater.
Carol received her bachelor's degree in history in 1949-and therefore was a member of the first Lawrence class to take Freshman Studies; her graduation occurred two years after the college's centennial but, significantly, on the occasion of the college's 100th commencement ceremony.
Carol was a woman of broad interests-England, Scotland, cats, local history, Shakespeare, the music of the British Isles, the detective fiction of Dorothy Sayers, and more-which she shared freely with friends and acquaintances, especially the cats, Lionel and Jason.

 Lifetimetv.com: Intimate Portrait
Although Lawrence was an extremely introverted girl, her mother, who had once dreamed of becoming a professional singer, encouraged her daughter to pursue the limelight.
At age 18, Lawrence was plucked out of high school in order to join "The Carol Burnett Show." For years, she had only a minimal role on the show because she was too intimidated to talk.
In 1974, Lawrence, then 25, finally found the confidence to break out of her shell on "The Carol Burnett Show" and created the character Thelma Harper, aka Mama, an outrageous Southern curmudgeon with a sour face and a sharp tongue.

 Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel - Press Release
While Lawrence was in high school in her hometown of Inglewood, Calif., the cheerleader, dancer and singer entered the local fire department’s “Miss Fireball Contest.” After a local newspaper article mentioned her resemblance to Carol Burnett, Lawrence sent her a fan letter and invited her to attend the finals of the competition.
Lawrence has often said that education on The Carol Burnett Show with Burnett, Harvey Korman and Tim Conway was like “attending the Harvard School of Comedy in front of America.” She withdrew from UCLA after two years and spent 11 years with Burnett, earning one Emmy Award and five Emmy nominations.
Lawrence also premiered Vicki Lawrence Cosmetics in 2001 with assistance from her husband of 20 years, Al Schultz, who was the CBS head of makeup when they married in 1974.

 JOYCE CAROL OATES : LAWRENCE'S GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG: THE APOCALYPTIC VISION OF WOMEN IN LOVE
Lawrence would say that it is, for the "material interests" of which Conrad spoke so ironically are all that remain of spiritual hopes; God being dead, God being unmasked as a fraud, nothing so suits man's ambition as a transvaluing of values, the reinterpretation of religious experience in gross, obscene terms.
Lawrence's is the sounder psychology, but it does not follow that his world view is more optimistic, for to recognize a truth does not inevitably bring with it the moral strength to realize that truth in one's life.
Lawrence has explored the near dissolution of the personality in earlier works—in Ursula's illness near the end of The Rainbow, and in her reaction to Birkin's lovemaking in Women in Love; and in Connie Chatterley's deepening sense of nothingness before her meeting with Mellors—but never with such powerful economy as in The Escaped Cock.
