Roseanne Cherrie Barr is an American actress, comedian, writer, and producer who gained widespread fame through her groundbreaking work in television comedy. She was born on November 3, 1952, in Salt Lake City, Utah. At the age of sixteen, Barr suffered a traumatic brain injury after being struck by a car. The injury led to an extended hospitalization, including a period of institutionalization lasting approximately eight months. In 1970, she left home to visit friends in Colorado and ultimately chose not to return.
Roseanne Barr began performing stand-up comedy in Colorado, where her sharp wit and candid observational humor about working-class family life quickly earned her attention. Her popularity in stand-up comedy laid the groundwork for her breakthrough television role. In 1988, she starred in the ABC sitcom Roseanne, a realistic portrayal of a working-class American family. Barr played the lead role alongside John Goodman and Laurie Metcalf. Her performance earned her both an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Television Series – Comedy or Musical.
In 1974, Barr married Bill Pentland, a hotel clerk. The couple had three children together: Jessica, Jennifer, and Jake. After sixteen years of marriage, they divorced in 1990. Just four days later, Barr married fellow comedian Tom Arnold. Their relationship was highly publicized and the two frequently collaborated professionally, though the marriage ended in divorce in 1994, citing irreconcilable differences.
The following year, in 1995, Barr married Ben Thomas, her former personal security guard. The couple had one son, Buck, who was conceived through in-vitro fertilization. Barr and Thomas remained together until 2002. After their separation, Barr began a long-term relationship with Johnny Argent. The two currently live on a macadamia nut farm on the Big Island of Hawaii.
