Carol Burnett's Mystery Gift (Continued from page 20) squirming in her arms and she says, "This )iis Bruce. I'm madly in love with her." She enjoys your double-take and adds quickly, "That's right. He's a she. My husband Don wanted a boy and I wanted a girl, so we compromised. For Don's sake, we call her Bruce." And so you meet Carol Burnett, the lyoung comedienne who in the past two seasons has been breaking up audiences on 'the Jack Paar, Garry Moore, Ed Sullivan, and Dinah Shore shows. She is winsome and slightly mischievous but, in spite of the clowning, she is very warm and feminine. This is a girl who could never be embittered or cynical or hard — perhaps 'because something of a minor miracle has happened in her life. ' "It's something you have to believe because it's true," she says. "It happened 'four years ago, when I was an undergraduate at U.C.L.A. For my final, in one course, I had to do a musical skit. Well, ■Don and I did a scene from 'Annie Get Your Gun.' The professor liked it so much he asked us to come to a party and do it for the guests. So we did and, afterJwards. a nice, middle-aged man came up to us and asked, 'What would you two like to do with yourselves?' That was easy to answer. Don wanted to get to New York to break into the theater. I 'wanted New York because it is the only 'sity where you can get into musical Comedy. ■ "He said, 'What's stopping you?' I said, 'Money.' He said, 'Money! What's money? I'm fifty years old now, and I came to this cotintry an immigrant and had no money. t'U give you some money.' The truth was that our financial status was on the minus side. I worked weekends to pay my way at school, but I was still in debt. And I 'figured this Santa Claus couldn't be for real. He was sweet and seemed generous but, after all, it was a party and it was possible that he was just feeling good. "So I said, 'Oh, sure, you'll give us Tioney.' He said, 'Sure, I will. You come to my office in San Diego a week from [tomorrow.' Well, you know how the mind 'is. You don't believe it, and yet you don't want to stop believing. Don kept his head and said, 'We'll phone you before we come iown.' During the next week, we made plans to go to San Diego — but we kept telling ourselves it was too good to be true." Carol was twenty at the time and she ! wouldn't have been more deserving, for — ike the heroine in a fairytale — she had oeen good, honest and poor. "I was born in San Antonio," she says. "Dad was manager of a movie house and Mother was a writer. I was almost born during a screening of 'Rasputin and the Empress' — Mother lad to get up at the most exciting part and leave for the hospital. When I was about three, I began going to the theater with Daddy and I would sit through the carcoons, go up to his office for a nap, then !ome down for the cartoons again. I've ilways loved movies. "I was six when my parents moved to Ilalifomia and left me with Grandmother. They were going to send for me, but they lad troubles and didn't. When I was seven, Grandmother and I moved to Los ^Vngeles and we lived in an apartment icross the hall from Mother. Daddy was 'ery ill and went to the hospital about that ime — he died there, a few years ago. "Mother had my baby sister to take care OPPORTUHITIES FOR EVERYBODY l*MttVt«h«r*« Ct«««ifi«d Department {Tf«dtm«rfc) For classified advertising rates, write to William fi.
