Roseanne Barr
Roseanne Cherrie Barr was born on November 3, 1952, in Salt Lake City, Utah. She attended East High School in Salt Lake City, and she went on to build a career that took her well beyond her home state and into multiple corners of the American entertainment industry.
Barr began her career in stand-up comedy before going on to work as a stage actor, television actor, film actor, and voice actor. She has also worked as a writer, screenwriter, television producer, and film director, as well as a blogger and politician. Her name became most closely associated with the television show Roseanne, and for her work on that series she received a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series and a Golden Globe Award.
The recognition she received extended beyond those two honors. She was given a GLAAD Vanguard Award and a Lucy Award, and she was named to the Time 100. A star in her name was placed on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She is known mononymously as Roseanne, a single name that became attached to her public identity across her years in entertainment.
The facts available do not record a date or place of death. Barr holds United States citizenship and has worked in the English language throughout her career, which spans stand-up comedy, acting across stage, television, and film, producing, writing, and political involvement.
