Carol
Burnette
| American
entertainer Carol Burnett and her sister were both raised
by their loving grandmother. It has long been a matter of
public record that Burnett credits her grandmother for encouraging
her to utilize her comic and musical talents to the fullest.
Working her way through UCLA, she majored in English and Theater
arts, gradually developing the poise and self-confidence to
tackle an entertainment career. After nightclub work, Burnett
was spotlighted on the variety programs of Steve Allen, Ed
Sullivan, and Jack Paar, bringing down the house on Paar's
program with the specialty ballad "I Made a Fool of Myself
over John Foster Dulles." In 1956, Burnett co-starred
with Buddy Hackett in the live TV sitcom Stanley, which unfortunately
was scheduled opposite the indestructible Arthur Godfrey's
Talent Scouts. |
