Carol Burnett reflects on her legacy ahead of 90th birthday

Carol Burnett is looking back on her legacy as she is set to turn 90 later this month.

Burnett, who celebrates her milestone birthday on April 26, told People she wants her legacy to be that "I made people laugh, made them feel good when they might have been down."

"In my fan mail, many say it was the only time the family would get together, to watch and laugh," she added of her iconic show "The Carol Burnett Show," which ran for 11 seasons from 1967 to 1978. "And that sometimes they were lonesome and were cheered up by our show. That's a good feeling."
