This is an exceptional Biography about a terrific actress, comedienne, and above all a wonderful human
being.

This woman has made strides in areas that other women could only have dreamed of.

The biography covers her early years in Texas where she was born in 1933.

How she was raised by her Grandmother and how she
eventually got to New York.

Her friends and associates who comment in this biography make it even more compelling to watch.

I first got it on VHS and now I have the DVD and I know that the DVD will be even better than the VHS was because of the bonus features.

This DVD is for every Carol Burnett Fan and every fan
who believes that you can make your own breaks and that dreams can come true if you work hard enough to make them come true.

This is a wonderful product not just because it is a wonderful movie. It has the best bonus features that
I have seen in a DVD.

The Documentaries are First-Rate and you can get a
better understanding from those involved in making
the movie some of the problems that they encountered while filming on location in Salzburg, Austria.

I think this is the best version of the movie that I have seen since it first came out on a VHS Tape and when it was First shown on TV back in 1976.

If you are a Julie Andrews fan and love films with
music than this a must buy DVD.

You can watch it 100 times or more and it never gets old. There is always something new to discover in the
movie.

I have the 1978 version of this book. I did not know that there is a revised version of the book and I intend to look into it.

I find this book to be very informative about two men
who wrote wonderful Broadway Musicals Together.

They have a legacy that will never go away.

As new generations of children are born they will get
to see the brillance of these men who are no longer
with us.

Yet their words and music are forever captured on
the big screen.

You can find comfort in the songs that they wrote
together and you can learn from the songs as well.

I highly recommend this book to all of the Movie
Musical lovers of the world.

This is a terrific book and I have read it several times and I can see why Carol's late daughter Carrie Hamilton wanted to make a Play out of the First Half of the book.

The book is honest and straightforward. it is also touching, funny, sad, and just full of mixed emotions.

It makes you believe that if you have a dream then you have to follow it no matter how many obstacles get in the way such as money or lack thereof.

It is being in the right place at the right time.

I think that Carol was meant not only to be an
actress in both comedy and dramatic roles but also
to become an author in her own right.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is a
Carol Burnett Fan and would like to get to know her
from her own written words.

I think that this a wonderful book and I read it over 20 years ago. It lets your imagination wander to new and exotic places.

I hear that it might be turned into a movie by the Disney Co. and I think it would be interesting to see how it goes from page to screen.

I think that the author knows children very well and how to get their minds open to new things.
