Carol Burnett has lived a full life at the age of 89 having starred in a slew of shows throughout her career.
But in its June 13 issue, Globe claimed that the veteran actress is close to her deathbed.
A source claimed that Burnett lost a considerable amount of weight in recent months to the point that she’s being described as frail and weak.
And the tabloid also predicted that the actress doesn’t have long to live.
“Carol’s still hanging in there but rarely leaves the house except for special occasions, then it’s a whole production. She’s 89 but she’s still very proud and doesn’t complain about aches and pains, though her friends suspect they’re giving her grief,” the source said.
The insider claimed that Burnett is no longer able to move about quickly and freely. In fact, she even needs help while sitting down and getting back up. Carol’s been a real trooper. However, the fear is she’s sliding downwards and it’s all catching up,” the source said.
As of late, there’s no indication that Burnett has become frail or that she’s dying. But it’s not a big deal if the veteran actress has slowed down in recent years because of her age.
After all, it’s not unusual for someone her age to no longer be able to do the things that she used to do.
But even though Burnett has potentially shown some signs that she’s no longer as physically active as she once was, this doesn’t change the fact that she still has a quick wit.
In fact, the actress will soon appear in Apple’s new project, Mrs. American Pie alongside Kristen Wiig.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series is set in the early 1970s, and it will also revolve around Wiig’s character, Maxine Simmons. The latter wants to secure a seat as a member of Palm Beach’s high society.
Burnett, on the other hand, will play the role of Norma, the grande dame of Palm Beach high society. She has a ton of secrets, and she knows everything that goes on in the community.
Mrs. American Pie also stars Allison Janney, Leslie Bibb, Ricky Martin, and Josh Lucas.
The comedy series is executive produced by Big Little Lies star, Laura Dern, who may also be cast in one of the roles.
As of late, the official release date for Mrs. American Pie hasn’t been confirmed.
