In 2002, at the age of 38, Carrie, who was both an actress and a singer, went tragically due to cancer. Every day, Burnett carries her memories with her, and she makes a note of the advice that Carrie gave her: “Every day I wake up and decide.”
The play Hollywood Arms, which was based on Burnett’s memoirs, was a product of the two of them working together. Despite the fact that Carrie had passed away before it was finished, Burnett completed it in her honor.
