Over the past 11 years, I have been fortunate to work with over 300 people through my show, which has had two guest stars per week. I feel incredibly lucky.
Burnett, during her speech at the event, disclosed that she grew up near the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. She remembered strolling to the Grauman's Chinese Theatre with her grandmother and marveling at the handprints and footprints embedded in the sidewalk.
