Carol Burnett was born in San Antonio, Texas to a film studio publicity writer and a movie theater manager. She moved to Hollywood with her grandmother (her parents were both alcoholics) at an early age. She studied theater at UCLA and then moved to NYC to pursue a career. Her first big break came after she was cast to play opposite Buddy Hackett in a short-lived show entitled, "Stanley". After that she did some Broadway work and then won an Emmy for her recurring role on the television show, "The Gary Moore Show". She rose to headliner status in 1962, when she starred with friend, Julie Andrews in a special called "Julie and Carol at Carnegie Hall" (she won another Emmy). It was in 1967 that she finally became a mega-star with her own show entitled "The Carol Burnett Show" (the show would last until 1978). She has since starred in films like "Annie", "A Wedding", "Horton Hears a Who", and "Post Grad". She has also appeared as a guest star in numerous shows such as "Mad About You", "Mama's Family", "Law and Order", "Desperate Housewives", and "Glee".

Audrey Hepburn and Best Actress winner Julie Andrews take a picture together at the 1965 Academy Awards. Apparently there was a little tension between the two. It all started when Hepburn was cast as 'Eliza Doolittle' in the big screen version of "My Fair Lady". Insiders say Andrews should have gotten the part because she originated the role on stage. The role went to the more famous Hepburn. That year, Andrews took the lead role in "Mary Poppins", which won her the 1965 Best Actress Oscar. Hepburn, who had to have her songs dubbed, wasn't even nominated.
