Growing up there wasn't a lot that my family agreed on but one thing we did was, we all loved The Carol Burnett Show. It came on either Friday or Saturday nights (I think) and we would put aside any bad feelings we had about each other and all sit down in front of the TV and laugh for an hour, as a family. It was a sad day for us when it went off the air. It was like losing a family member - one we liked at that. ;-)
Years later I read her autobiography and I fell in love with her again. She has such a kind, gentle spirit about her. I'm just a big fan of hers - as a person and as an actress. S
he doesn't hold back.
So, happy birthday Carol. May you have many, many more.
And in honor of Secretary's week - enjoy a picture of Carol dressed as one of my favorite characters...secretary, Mrs. Wiggins. ;-)

I loved The Carol Burnett Show. Loved it. She had great comedic timing--all the supporting cast were so funny too.
P.S. Forgot to say that The Duke and I is my favorite Julia Quinn book. I read it twice. :)
Yes, I'm a fan of the supporting cast too. Tim Conway and Harvey Korman still tour together. They were performing in Galveston a month or so ago and I wanted to go but, well, that didn't work out. Maybe next time. :)
I love Julia Quinn's books. I ordered another one yesterday. :D
I loved the Carol Burnett show, too! My favorite was when she imitated Gloria Swanson from "Sunset Boulevard". She would wear that hideous makeup and Harvey Korman was the bald butler. "Mr. DeMil, I'm ready for my close up!!"
It was a blast!
Do you watch Desperate Housewives? She was on a couple of weeks ago as Bree's evil stepmother. She looked great!
Maria,
Yes, I love Desperate Housewives. She does look great. I loved the scene when her and Bree were in the living room late at night and Bree asked what she was doing and she said "I'm doing my hair - there just doesn't seem to be enough time in the mornings." and she was fluffing a wig. lol
"Mrs. A-whiggins? Could you sharpen this pencil for me?"
What about when she spoofed Scarlett O'hara by wearing the curtain rod and drapes? LOLOL.
LOL Ellen. I loved that skit. And the dress made out of the curtains "Oh, it's just something I saw in the window." LOL
