Brett Butler (born January 30, 1958) is an American actress, writer, and stand-up comedian. She is best known for playing the title role in the ABC comedy series Grace Under Fire (1993–98), for which she received two Golden Globe Awards nominations. Butler was born Brett Anderson in Montgomery, Alabama, the eldest of five sisters. She was four years old when her father, Roland Decatur Anderson Jr., an oil-company executive, moved the family to Houston, Texas. Her mother Carol left Roland, an abusive alcoholic, and moved with their children to Miami. Her mother battled depression, and the family was sometimes so poor that they ate Tootsie Rolls for dinner. Butler briefly attended the University of Georgia. Before experiencing success as a stand-up comic, she worked as a cocktail waitress. In 1978, at the age of 20, Butler married her first husband, Charles Michael Wilson three months after their meeting. Wilson was abusive and in 1981 she left him. Since then, he has both admitted and adamantly denied battering Butler, while claiming that she too was violent. She returned to her mother in Miami, and began performing in comedy clubs. She moved to New York City in 1984, and was arrested for possession of marijuana. In New York City, she would meet her second husband, Ken Zieger, and they got married in 1987.
