Many thanks to Kathy Clements, Carol Burnett Archivist since 1970, for this info. Article excerpt: ...I remember talking to a class of students and one told me that she wanted to write about a celebrity and chose Carol Burnett. I suggested she write a letter to Carol asking for an interview and the student’s response was, “Can I really do that?” She wrote the letter and didn’t hear anything for two months, but then Carol’s agent called and asked if the student wanted to have breakfast with Carol at the Brown Derby. She taped the meeting with Carol and Carol was super to her. At the end, the student mentioned how much her mother also loves Carol. Carol’s response was, “You should have brought her too.” The student said, “I did, she’s sitting right behind you.” Carol invited the mother over and gave her a big hug. Students need to know that things are possible if they believe. Excerpt from Five questions for author Patrick F. McManus The Columbian

Interview: Interesting interview in the LA Times (
Why she took the part: "I heard 'Dr. Seuss,' and my ears perked up. Then they told me Jim Carrey would be Horton and Steve Carell was the Mayor. I knew I wanted to be a part of this. Not that we were together when we worked. There were many takes. 'Now say it angrily.' Or, 'Say it as if you were telling a secret.' I found out there are 47 ways to say 'Horton.' "
