Roseanne Barr Reveals Million-Dollar 'Roseanne' Payday

Roseanne Barr recently shared details about her substantial financial success from the television series 'Roseanne.' She stated that at the height of the show's popularity, she commanded a salary of $1 million per episode. Barr confirmed that she still retains a significant amount of this income, attributing past losses to divorces and legal issues.

Barr has now invested in a new television project titled 'Meemaw: A Modern Day Fable.' She co-financed this series, which is set in Texas and features a mixed-race, prepper family. Barr described the show's matriarch, Meemaw, as a patriotic grandmother facing the challenge of providing a bat mitzvah for her granddaughter.

The actress indicated that the show draws inspiration from her own life, noting her status as a prepper and resident of Texas. She highlighted that the character utilizes her multi-religious prayer group and "formerly dormant sexuality" to achieve her goals. Barr also emphasized her commitment to union labor for American workers, linking it to her past political affiliation.
