Roseanne Barr is an American actress, comedian, writer, and producer, best known for her role as Roseanne Conner in the sitcom "Roseanne" (1988-1997) and its revival (2018). Her stand-up comedy often tackled feminist and working-class issues, which were also central themes in her sitcom. While "Roseanne" was a ratings success, the revival was cancelled after Barr posted a controversial and racially charged tweet. She has since continued to work in comedy and has been a vocal supporter of conservative political views.
