Nobody could ever imagine the drama behind the scenes.
However, fans never saw this firing manifest onscreen.
Onebehind-the-scenesmoment chronicled an argument with Harvey Korman that resulted in her calling his agent.
“Something was wrong with Harvey.
Now, at times he could get into a mood.
He was in an Elvis getup this particular morning and this was one of those times.
He was scowling at everybody, and at one point he was actually rude to Tim and Petula.”
Burnett confronted her co-star in his dressing room and asked him if there was anything wrong.
“He walked me backwards out into the hall, and he closed the door on me.
I didn’t know what to do, I was stunned … She felt she had no other choice but to call his agent.
Korman must have realized immediately that he made a big mistake and asked how he could fix it.
Not only Monday but the whole week!
And you are never, ever to be nasty to one of our guests or anyone on our crew.
She reportedly continued, “We all have moods, but we don’t bring them to work.
I suppose sometimes I’m not.
She says, ‘Well, then why don’t you just get off it?’
And I said, ‘Well, I don’t know.'”
Burnett told him to either show up happy or move on.
