Carol Burnett on Why She's 'F*cking Thrilled' About Returning to Broadway in Love Letters & More

Incoming Love Letters star Carol Burnett paid Stephen Colbert a visit on October 8. The two gushed about her new costar Brian Dennehy, who apparently has “a head like a shoulder of beef” and “shoulders like Joan Crawford used to have.” Taking a second look, you're totally right! And how does she feel about returning to Broadway? “I’m f*cking thrilled about it.” Four-letter words aside, Burnett loves children, and even gets missives from them. “Because we’re on YouTube, I’m getting letters from kids. Three-hole, lined paper from school, and they’re just adorable.” Sometimes, she’ll write them back or even call the kids if they’ve left a phone number. You can catch Burnett reading some Love Letters at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre from October 11 through November 8.
