Carol Burnett with her sister/mother! |

In 1967, Vicki Lawrence sent a letter that changed her life. She told Carol Burnett that she could play her sister, and shortly after that, she did.
Then, in 1973, Lawrence went from playing Burnett’s sister on The Carol Burnett Show to playing her mama in The Family sketches. Those sketches with Eunice and her mother became so popular with fans that it became its own series, Mama’s Family. That show is still being enjoyed by fans in syndication.
While Eunice and Mama did not always get along, the actresses did and do. So after nearly 60 years, they are still like sisters and enjoy hanging out. Therefore, yesterday, they had dinner and talked about old times! And we got this photo, wishing we could have joined them at the table!

A Carol Burnett Show reunion on Palm Royale |

Palm Royale had a little Christmas present for its fans. They reunited the show’s star, Carol Burnett, with his old co-star, Vicki Lawrence, from The Carol Burnett Show!
I can tell you what Lawrence does on the series, but, believe me, you want to see it for yourself! Because it brought me more joy than all of the physical presents I got for the holiday. And I got a lot of perfect presents.
This photo does not do their reunion justice. So open up your Apple TV app and enjoy Eunice and her Mama!

On March 26th, Vicki Lawrence turned 75. However, you would never know it by looking at her because she looks just as beautiful now as she did in 1975.
I would love to know what her secret is because it is totally working for her.

A Gen X boy’s wet dream: Mindy Cohn, Vicki Lawrence and Marla Gibbs! |
| July 12th, 2023 under Marla Gibbs, The Facts of Life, Vicki Lawrence, Wet dream. [ Comments: none ]

|  Mindy Cohn/Instagram Back in the ’70s and ’80s, boys were enjoying watching The Facts of Life, The Carol Burnett Show, and The Jeffersons. However, they never saw Mindy “Natalie” Cohn, Vicki “Mama” Lawrence, and Marla “Florence” Gibbs together.
Over the weekend, a few of them had their wet dream become a reality because the three actresses attended Fanboy Expo in Knoxville, Tennessee, and we got this photo!
Don’t the three of them look fabulous? They look even better now than they did then. Don’t you agree?

A Mama’s Family mini-reunion |

Vicki Lawrence is back on the road with her two-woman show that is partially based on her Mama’s Family character. During her performance at the Ameristar Kansas City, there was a familiar face in the audience. That face belonged to Allan Kayser, who played her grandson on the sitcom.
After the show, they reunited, and we got this sweet photo of the two of them. The actors still look as close now as they did in the late ’80s. And they both still look fantastic. Well, Lawrence looks younger now than she did then. But that is because they aged her for the role, and she never ages.
I wish they could do a revival, but Mama Harper would be like 100. Could you imagine how grumpy she would be? Wait, it would be awesome.
