Eunice Higgins (née Harper)

Eunice Higgins (née Harper) is a character from the American sitcom "The Carol Burnett Show" and its spin-off "Mama's Family". She was played by Carol Burnett, who also starred in the 1982 TV movie "Eunice". Eunice is a working-class homemaker who is always clad in a tattered green dress and wears her hair in a 1940s-era perm. She has a stormy, irrepressible, browbeating persona, always going melodramatically out of control, ranting and raving. However, on "The Family" sketches, Eunice was beaten down by her tyrannical, emotionally-abusive mother, and her fits of rage were usually provoked by her mother's passive-aggressive comments. Eunice is a fan favorite character from "The Carol Burnett Show".
