Comedian from Tuskegee,
Alabama.
Executive Producer and
star of
Grace Under Fire. Her
autobiography "
Knee Deep in Paradise" details her eventful past, including
alcoholism,
drug abuse, and an
abusive husband. Basically the
staples for any
Hollywood star. I don't know how many years her show was on, but it eventually got cancelled, and I believe I saw Ms. Butler in
Wal Mart the other day, wearing a blue
smock.
Point of Interest: Brett is named after Lady Brett Ashley in the Hemmingway classic: The Sun Also Rises.
"If I guess that I had at least three drinks a day from the age of sixteen to twenty-six, when I had my last one, that's almost eleven thousand drinks. When I surmise that I was very drunk over half of those days, I can't believe I have enough brain cells left to perform simple addition." -Brett Butler
