Vicki Lawrence, born on March 26, 1949, in Inglewood, California, is a multifaceted entertainer renowned for her work as an actress, comedian, and singer. Her career took a significant turn during her senior year of high school when she sent a letter to Carol Burnett, highlighting their striking resemblance. This correspondence led to Lawrence being cast on "The Carol Burnett Show" in 1967, where she became a key ensemble member for the show's entire 11-year run. During this time, she introduced audiences to the character Thelma Harper, affectionately known as "Mama," which became one of her most iconic roles. In addition to her television success, Lawrence achieved musical acclaim with her 1973 hit single, "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia," which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Following the conclusion of "The Carol Burnett Show," Lawrence continued to captivate audiences with "Mama's Family," a sitcom that centered around her "Mama" character. The show initially aired on NBC from 1983 to 1985 and found renewed success in syndication from 1986 to 1990. Beyond her television endeavors, Lawrence showcased her versatility by hosting the daytime game show "Win, Lose or Draw" from 1987 to 1989 and her own talk show, "Vicki!", from 1992 to 1994. Her contributions to entertainment have been recognized with multiple award nominations, including a Primetime Emmy Award, which she won in 1976 for Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program.
