Harvey Korman's Quotes

  • [on the success of The Carol Burnett Show (1967)] We were an ensemble, and [Carol Burnett] had the most incredible attitude. I've never worked with a star of that magnitude who was willing to give so much away.
  • [in 2005 interview] It takes a certain type of person to be a television star. I didn't have whatever that is. I come across as kind of snobbish and maybe a little too bright . . . Give me something bizarre to play or put me in a dress and I'm fine.
  • [on Vicki Lawrence] I don't think she knew [how] enormously talented she is.

Interesting Facts about Harvey Korman

  1. Children: first marriage, Maria and Christopher; second marriage, Katherine and Laura.
  2. Son of Ellen (nΓ©e Belcher) and Cyril Raymond Korman. Harvey's father was born in Russia, to Russian Jewish parents, Solomon Noah Korman and Clara Lederman. Harvey's mother was born in France, also to Russian Jewish parents.
  3. Following college he tried his luck on Broadway and in nightclubs (as half of a comedy duo) but failed and had to support himself as a restaurant cashier. He finally moved to Hollywood and found success.
  4. In 1960 he married Donna Elhart and they had two children, Maria and Christopher. They divorced in 1977. Two more children, Katherine (Kate) and Laura were born of his 1982 marriage to Deborah Fritz.

  7. Recreated his popular sketch role as aimless, philandering husband "Ed", the husband of "Eunice", in the Southern-fried series Mama's Family (1983) with Carol Burnett and starring Vicki Lawrence and Ken Berry.
