As Maxine attempts to cross that impermeable line between the haves and the have-nots, “Mrs. American Pie” asks the same questions that still baffle us today: “Who gets a seat at the table?” “How do you get a seat at the table?” “What will you sacrifice to get there?” Burnett will star as Norma, the grande dame of Palm Beach high society, a keeper of secrets with more than a few of her own.Burnett is one of the most celebrated performers of modern times.
She is perhaps best known for hosting the variety sketch series “The Carol Burnett Show” on CBS from 1967-1978, with the show winning 25 Emmy Awards throughout its run.
