Roseanne Barr to undergo surgery next week
Thursday August 14, 2003
LOS ANGELES (AP) Roseanne Barr will have a hysterectomy next
week, possibly delaying the taping of her new ABC Family series,
``Domestic Goddess,'' her assistant said Thursday.
``It's not life-threatening or anything,'' Becky Pentland said.
``She's a real healthy person, so we hope she won't be down very
long.''
After tests earlier this week, doctors told the actress-comedian
she should undergo the operation, which is scheduled for Wednesday,
Pentland said.
``Domestic Goddess,'' the cooking and lifestyle show that stars
Barr, was scheduled to premier Sept. 20.
Pentland said Barr, 50, will be recovering for at least a few
days after the surgery, and production may be delayed up to two
weeks.
ABC Family representatives did not immediately return calls
seeking comment.
The development of ``Goddess'' also has been the subject of a
documentary-style series now running on ABC, ``The Real Roseanne
Show,'' which has already completed production.
