I remember watching the Carol Burnett show when I was younger. We watched it every week. Carol always had a question and answer session with her audience to start the show. This book is a collection of short stories about her life. It was a quick read. There are numerous photos in the book from her shows too." I figured I had to stand out more, which meant a special audition dress. I couldn't afford more than $5, so I talked four other girls at the club into pitching in $5 a piece so we could buy a "community dress." With $25 in hand, we trotted off to Bloomingdales, to find THE dress that would fit us all. No easy task, because we weren't all built the same by any means.
We knew that to stand out in an audition the dress should be a bright color. It had to have long sleeves to cover skinny, plump, and average arms. It had to have a full skirt to hide any wide behinds. The material had to have a little give to accommodate each of us in the waistline. Luckily, we were all pretty close in that department."
