recognition for
her philanthropy
and dedication
to helping displaced

in a working class
family with immigrant
grandparents working
as a dishwasher
to feed her family
and then gaining
stardom"
, said Roger A.

comedy is based
on real-life issues
of working class
families that
has resonated
with the public
resulting in four
Emmys, two Golden
Globes and six
People's Choice
Awards. She was

One
of many of Roseanne's
personal quotes:
"I have a
huge crush on
President Bush&
he's a babe...
He's got Ronald
Reagan charm.
I think he's hot
if he wasn't married
I'd be putting
on my cowboy boots
and coming around."
