2. Carol Burnett went to Hollywood High, too. She was born 1933, so
they weren't classmates.

She got to go to UCLA on a dream and the fifty bucks a stranger slipped into her mail slot at the apartment building she lived in with her grandmother.

She got to go to New York to break into show biz thanks to a patron, Mr. C., who gave her a thousand dollars on the promise that she never reveal who he was.

At her going away party, someone yelled, "Carol, what will be your first big success?" She said, "A Broadway musical. And George Abbott will be the director." That's exactly what happened.

So there.

4. Me too. But actually it was for her Grandmother. But that's cool.
If you've never read One More Time, do so. It came out around 1985.
