Carol Burnett feels as young as ever in the lead-up to her 90th birthday.
Burnett said that growing up in Los Angeles, she knew the entertainment business was for her right from the start. “I used to pretend to be on a radio show,” she explained. “I would yell out the window, ‘Now ladies and gentlemen, we have a young girl who is going to sing here without any musical accompaniment.’ One time, a man next door said, ‘Will you turn that goddamn thing off?’ And I thought, 'I'm a hit. They think it's real.
'” But it wasn't until college that she realized she had a particular gift for comedy. “I was pretty much of a quiet student all through grammar school, junior high, and Hollywood High,” she recalled. “I would kid around with my friends, the neighborhood kids, stuff like that. But I never really thought about it until I got to UCLA and I was in an acting class. A lot of the kids at the class were doing heavy, dramatic stuff and I thought, I can't do that.
