Roseanne Cherie Barr (born November 3, 1952) is an American actress, comedian, writer, television producer and director. Barr began her career in stand-up comedy at clubs in Colorado in the 1980s. Her big break came in 1987 when she was cast in her own sitcom, Roseanne. The show was a hit and lasted nine seasons, from 1988 to 1997. Barr won both an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for her work on the show. In addition, she has won six People's Choice Awards, three American Comedy Awards, a Kids Choice Award, a GLAAD Media Award, and the TV Land Innovator Award. Barr starred in the film She-Devil (1989) and had a voice role in Look Who's Talking Too (1991). In 2004, she voiced one of the main characters in the animated film Home on the Range.

After her sitcom ended, Barr launched her own talk show, The Roseanne Show, which aired from 1998 to 2000. She later returned to stand-up in the mid-2000s. She had guest spots on shows, 3rd Rock from the Sun, The Nanny, and My Name Is Earl. Barr released her autobiography in 1989, a second book in 1994, and a third book in 2011. She will star in her own reality TV show on Lifetime, revolving around her family and life on her farm. She hosts a radio show on KCAA on Sundays.

In 1990, controversy arose when she sang the "The Star-Spangled Banner" during a nationally aired baseball game, by singing the song off-key, then spitting and grabbing her crotch. The next year she appeared in People magazine announcing that she was an "incest survivor", something her parents and sister publicly denied. 20 years later Barr and her sister appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show to explain how they felt at the time.

She was married to Bill Pentland for 15 years and had three children before divorcing and marrying comedian Tom Arnold four days later. Their marriage lasted for four years, before going through a highly publicized divorce. Barr married her bodyguard in 1995 and had one child before divorcing in 2002. She began dating Johnny Argent in 2003, and now lives in Hawaii.

Early life

The oldest of four children, Barr was born in Salt Lake City to a working-class Jewish family. Her mother, Helen (née Davis), was a bookkeeper and cashier. Her father, Jerome Hershel "Jerry" Barr, worked as a door-to-door salesman of household goods.[1][2] Barr's grandparents and great-grandparents were immigrants from Ukraine, Russia, Lithuania and Austria-Hungary, and her paternal grandfather changed his surname from "Borisofsky" to "Barr" upon entering the United States.[2][3]

Her Jewish upbringing was influenced by her devoutly Orthodox Jewish maternal grandmother.[3] Barr's parents kept their Jewish heritage secret from their neighbors and were partially involved in The Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints. Barr has stated, "Friday, Saturday, and Sunday morning I was a Jew; Sunday afternoon, Tuesday afternoon, and Wednesday afternoon we were Mormons".[4] When Barr was three years old, she got Bell's palsy on the left side of her face. Barr said, "[so] my mother called in a rabbi to pray for me, but nothing happened. Then my mother got a Mormon preacher, he prayed, and I was miraculously cured". Years later Barr learned that Bell's palsy was usually temporary and that the Mormon preacher came "exactly at the right time".[3] At six years old, Barr discovered her first public stage by lecturing LDS churches around Utah and even was elected president of a Mormon youth group.[3]

At 16, Barr was hit by a car that left her with "traumatic brain injury".[3] Her behavior changed so radically that she was institutionalized for eight months at Utah State Hospital.[5] In 1970 at age 18, Barr left home by telling her parents she was going to visit a friend in Colorado for two weeks, but never returned.[5]

Career

Stand-up comedian success: 1980–1986

While in Colorado, Barr did stand-up gigs in Denver and other Colorado clubs. She later tried out at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles and went on to appear on The Tonight Show in 1985.[5] In 1986, she performed on Late Night With David Letterman and the following year had her own HBO special called The Roseanne Barr Show, which earned her an American Comedy Award for the funniest female performer in a television special.[6] Barr was offered the role of Peg Bundy in Married... with Children but turned it down.[7] In her routine she popularized the phrase, "domestic goddess," to refer to a homemaker or housewife. The success of her act led to her own series on ABC, called Roseanne.

Roseanne sitcom, film, books, and talk show: 1987–2003

In 1987, The Cosby Show executive producers Marcy Carsey and Tom Werner wanted to bring a "no-perks family comedy" to television. They hired Cosby writer Matt Williams to write a script about factory workers and then signed on the inexperienced Barr to play Roseanne Conner.[8] The show premiered on October 18, 1988 and was watched by 21.4 million households, making it the highest-rated debut of that season.[9] While Barr watched the first episode, she noticed that in the credits, Williams was listed as creator; Barr became outraged.[9] She told Tanner Stransky of Entertainment Weekly "We built the show around my actual life and my kids. The 'domestic goddess', the whole thing".[9] In the same interview, Werner said, "I don’t think Roseanne, to this day, understands that this is something legislated by the Writers Guild, and it's part of what every show has to deal with. They're the final arbiters".[9] During the first season, Barr fought to gain more creative control over the show and the fights with Williams worsened. Barr refused to say certain lines, threw "tantrums", and eventually walked off set. She even threaten to quit the show if Williams did not leave; ABC let Williams go after the thirteenth episode.[9] The show ran for nine seasons from 1988 to 1997. Barr won an Emmy, a Golden Globe, a Kids Choice Award, and three American Comedy Awards for her part in the show. For the final season Roseanne earned $650,000 an episode.[10]

Barr attending the 1992 Emmy Awards

During Roseanne's final season, Barr was in negotiations between Carsey-Werner Productions and ABC executives on continuing to play Roseanne Conner in a spin-off.[11] However, ABC had withdrawn from negotiations with Carsey-Werner and Barr and after failed discussions with CBS and Fox, Carsey-Werner and Barr agreed to not go on with the negotiations.[12]

Barr released her autobiography in 1989, titled Roseanne--My Life As a Woman.[1] That same year, she made her film debut in She-Devil playing Ruth. Film critic Roger Ebert gave her a positive review saying, "Barr could have made an easy, predictable and dumb comedy at any point in the last couple of years. Instead, she took her chances with an ambitious project - a real movie. It pays off, in that Barr demonstrates that there is a core of reality inside her TV persona, a core of identifiable human feelings like jealousy and pride, and they provide a sound foundation for her comic acting".[13] In 1991, she voiced the baby, Julie, in Look Who's Talking Too. She was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actress.[14] She appeared three times on Saturday Night Live from 1991 to 1994, co-hosting with Arnold in 1992. In 1994 she released a second book title, My Lives.[1] That same year, Barr became the first female comedian to host the MTV Video Music Awards on her own. She remained the only to have done so until comedian Chelsea Handler hosted in 2010.[15] In 1997, she guest appeared on 3rd Rock from the Sun and The Nanny.

In 1998, she portrayed the Wicked Witch of the West in a production of The Wizard of Oz at Madison Square Garden.[16] That same year, Barr went on to host her own talk show, The Roseanne Show, which ran for two years before it was canceled in 2000. In the summer of 2003, she took on the dual role of hosting a cooking show called Domestic Goddess and starring in a reality show called The Real Roseanne Show about hosting a cooking show. Although 13 episodes were in production; a hysterectomy brought a premature end to both projects.[17] In 2004, she voiced Maggie, one of the main characters in the animated film Home on the Range.

Back to stand-up, radio, and reality television: 2005–present

In 2005, she returned to stand-up comedy, touring the world.[18] In February 2006, Barr performed her first-ever live dates in Europe as part of the Leicester Comedy Festival in Leicester, England. The shows took place at De Montfort Hall.[19] She released her first kids' DVD, Rockin' with Roseanne: Calling All Kids, that month. Roseanne's return to the stage culminated in an HBO Comedy Special Roseanne Barr: Blonde N Bitchin', which aired November 4, 2006, on HBO. Two nights earlier, Roseanne returned to prime-time network TV with a guest spot on NBC's My Name Is Earl, playing a crazy trailer park manager. In April 2007 Barr host season three of The Search for the Funniest Mom in America on Nick at Nite.[20]

Barr giving an interview in the 2010 documentary, I Am Comic

In March 2008, she headlined in act at the Sahara Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.[19] From 2009 to 2010, she hosted a politically-themed radio show on KPFK.[21] She currently hosts a weekly radio show Sundays on KCAA in the Los Angeles area called "The Roseanne and Johnny Show".[22] On March 23, 2009 it was announced that Barr would be returning to primetime with a new sitcom, where she would once again play the matriarch. Jim Vallely of Arrested Development had been tapped to pen the series.[23] She later stated on her website that the project had been canceled.

On April 15, 2009 Barr made an appearance on Bravo's 2nd Annual A-List Awards in the opening scenes. She played Kathy Griffin's fairy godmother, granting her wish to be on the A-List for one night only. Barr headlined the inaugural Traverse City Comedy Arts Festival in February 2010, a project of the Traverse City Film Festival, founded by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore.[24] Moore developed the comedy fest with comedian Jeff Garlin.[24] In 2010, Barr appeared in Jordan Brady's documentary about stand-up comedy, I Am Comic.

On January 4, 2011, Barr released her third book, titled Roseannearchy: Dispatches from the Nut Farm.[25] Barr appeared in 2011 on a Super Bowl XLV commercial for Snickers along with comedian Richard Lewis. It was the most popular ad based on the number of TiVo users rewinding and watching it over.[26] On February 14, 2011, The Hollywood Reporter announced that Lifetime Television had ordered 16 half-hour episodes featuring Barr, boyfriend Johnny Argent and son Jake as they run a macadamia nut and live stock farm on the Big Island of Hawaii. The reality show will be produced by 3 Ball Productions/Eyeworks USA (The Biggest Loser) and is scheduled to air in 2011.[27]

Personal life

In 1970, while living in Denver, Barr had a daughter named Brandi, whom she put up for adoption.[28] Brandi later reunited with Barr.[3] On February 4, 1974 Barr married Bill Pentland, who was a motel clerk she met while in Colorado, until divorcing on January 16, 1990.[29] They had three children: Jessica, Jennifer, and Jake.[28] On January 20, 1990, four days after the divorce, Barr married fellow comedian Tom Arnold. Barr had met Arnold in 1983 in Minneapolis where he opened for her stand-up comedy act. In 1988, Barr brought Arnold onto her sitcom, Roseanne, as a writer.[30] Barr filed for divorce on April 18, 1994 in Superior Court of Los Angeles County, citing irreconcilable differences.[30] Their efforts to have children were unsuccessful.[31]

Barr has a gay brother, Ben Barr,[32][33] and a lesbian sister, Geraldine Barr,[32][33] which inspired her to introduce gay characters into her sitcom.[34] Barr has publicly stated that she supports gay marriage.[32] Geraldine was also Barr's manager while performing in comedy clubs and at the start of her sitcom. She claimed that Arnold tried to dominate Barr "for his own reasons".[35] Geraldine was fired by Barr and Geraldine sued her claiming that she was owed money for her role in her sister's career.[35] Since it was six months past the statute of limitations, the suit was thrown out.[35]

On February 14, 1995, Barr married Ben Thomas, her one-time personal security guard, at Caesars Tahoe with a reception at Planet Hollywood. In November 1994, she underwent in-vitro fertilization and became pregnant.[31] They had a son named Buck.[36] The couple stayed together until 2002.[37] In the mid-1990s Barr had multiple cosmetic surgeries performed, such as a breast reduction, tummy tuck, and a nose job.[38] During the late 1990s she had gastric bypass surgery.[18]

In 2002, Barr met Johnny Argent online after running a writing competition on her blog and soon began dating in 2003, after talking a year over the phone.[38][37] They live on a 46-acre macadamia nut farm located on the Big Island of Hawaii, that she purchased in 2007 for $1.78 million.[39] She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on the north side of the 6700 block of Hollywood Blvd.[40]

Controversy

National anthem performance

On July 25, 1990, Barr performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" before a baseball game between the San Diego Padres and Cincinnati Reds at Jack Murphy Stadium. As she later claimed, she was initially having trouble hearing herself over the public-address system, so she was singing as loudly as possible, and her rendition of the song sounded "screechy". Following her rendition, she mimicked the often-seen actions of players by spitting and grabbing her crotch as if adjusting a protective cup. Barr claimed she had been encouraged by baseball officials to "bring humor to the song". The song and the closing routine received heavy media attention and offended many, including President George H.W. Bush, who called her rendition "disgraceful."[41]

"Incest survivor"

In a 1991 interview with People, Roseanne revealed herself to be an "incest survivor", accusing both of her parents of physical and sexual abuse,[42] claims which they and Geraldine publicly denied.[43] Melvin Belli, her parents' lawyer, said that they had passed a lie detector test "with flying colors".[43] Barr was even part of an incest recovery group, something she said her parents knew about but was in "denial".[43] On February 14, 2011, Barr and Geraldine appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show where Barr admitted that the word "incest" could have been the wrong word to use and should have waited until her therapy was over before revealing the "darkest time" in her life.[44] She told Oprah, "I was in a very unhappy relationship and I was prescribed numerous psychiatric drugs... to deal with the fact that I had some mental illness... I totally lost touch with reality... (and) I didn’t know what the truth was... I just wanted to drop a bomb on my family".[44] She added that not everything was "made up", saying, "Nobody accuses their parents of abusing them without justification".[44] Geraldine said they did not speak for 12 years, but had recently reconciled.[44]
