When Carol Burnett was nine, she moved with her grandmother to Hollywood — and fell in love with the idea of being an actress! She would put on shows with friends from her apartment building and loved making people laugh. As an adult, after one of her performances, a stranger offered her $1000 to support a move to New York so she could perform on Broadway and on TV, as long as she paid him back and helped others if she became successful. Not only did she fulfill her promise, but she would go on to become the first woman to host a comedy-variety show!
In this colorful biography, young readers will learn all about Carol Burnett's remarkable story, from her original love for the movies to her groundbreaking successes on stage and TV, all in the classic Golden Book format.
