Carol Burnett Feels ‘Fortunate’ with Husband after Her Daughter Died — She Raises Her Grandchild & Still Works at 90

TV legend Carol Burnett has been married to her third husband, Brian Miller, for 20 years.

The two took guardianship of Burnett’s grandson Dylan due to Burnett’s daughter’s struggles with addiction.

The comedian is a loving grandmother who is still working at 90.

Carol Burnett is an all-round entertainer, but she is famously known as a comedian and for her groundbreaking variety show, “The Carol Burnett Show,” on CBS.

The comedian has had a successful career and a few failed marriages along the way. She was first married to actor Don Saroyan from 1955 to 1962, and at the peak of her career, she married television producer Joe Hamilton from 1963 to 1984. During their union, Hamilton and Burnett had three daughters, Carrie, Jody, and Erin.

After two unsuccessful marriages, the actress did not give up on finding love again. She found her current husband, Brian Miller, whom she had known since the 90s. The two met in Long Beach, California, while Burnett was doing a show.

After dating for a few years, the couple tied the knot in November 2001. The mother of three could not have been happier to find love and have someone to share the rest of her life with. “… I feel so fortunate at this time of my life to be with him,” gushed Burnett in 2007.

Miller is 20 years her junior, but the actress said their relationship was “terrific.” The age gap has not been a problem. In fact, Burnett said the older they get, the narrow it gets.

Burnett’s husband is a musician. He worked as a drummer for the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and was previously the orchestra’s personnel manager. Besides being a drummer for Hollywood Bowl, he also worked as a music contractor for big venues like the Hollywood Pantages Theatre.

Miller also assembled a group of musicians, conductors, and producers for well-known events like the Hamilton and Waitress national tours and the Los Angeles Philharmonic concerts.

The couple has also attended several red-carpet events and even worked together. Miller produced Burnett’s 90th birthday special. This was not the drummer’s first time working with his wife; he was also the music contractor for “The Carol Burnett 50th Anniversary Special.”

Why Carol Burnett Had to Take Care of Her Grandson
Burnett worked hard to be one of the biggest stars on a variety show. Her breakthrough role came when she played Princess Winnifred on Broadway in “Once Upon a Mattress.” At the same time, the comedian appeared on “The Garry Moore Show.”

The actress was working so much that she fell asleep on stage, but even with the immense exhaustion, she never stopped until “The Carol Burnett Show” was one of the most-watched variety shows.

From the outside, life looked perfect for the comedian; she had a successful show, was married to a producer, and they were raising her three daughters.

However, one of her daughters, Carrie, started showing signs of alcohol and drug abuse during her teenage years. “It’s a way to sort of numb the pain that comes with growing up,” said Carrie.

Carrie was taken into rehab, but her journey to sobriety was not easy. She eventually gained it after a long and turbulent five years.

Meanwhile, one of Burnett’s other daughters, Erin, also struggled with addiction, leading to Burnett and her husband petitioning for temporary guardianship of Erin’s son Dylan.

The comedian released a statement, stating, “Erin has been struggling with impacting her immediate family dynamic; my husband and...
