Roseanne Barr was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. This led to the highly popular sitcom "Roseanne" (1988), co-starring John Goodman, which dealt with real life issues in the lower-middle class working family. During its first season on ABC, it leaped to #2. After the sitcom´s first season, Roseanne Barr gained notoriety when she gave a screeching, crotch-grabbing performance of "The Star Spangled Banner" at a baseball game. When Roseanne divorced her first husband, Bill Pentland after 16 years of marriage in 1990 and married "Roseanne" (1988) co-star Tom Arnold only four days later, her sitcom was already beginning its downward spiral. In 1991, she started to be billed as Roseanne Arnold.
