I see nothing funny anymore on SNL or Late Night shows. The humor is stupid, often off-color, and just plain boring. No one has that<br />comedic talent like Carol. Very sad.

She was 6 months pregnant when the family hiked over the mountains to freedom. Not a happy thought. And I know Scarlett was selfish, but her friends would have starved during the war without her. And Carol brought us all so much pleasure in her show, but she had a very unhappy upbringing and much sadness in her personal life. Hmm, makes them all sound like us, doesn't it?

I laughed so hard I think I was rolling at one point. Me, and my sisters. <br />No one could have pulled off that particular skit like Carol. <br /><br />I also adore Gone with the Wind and Scarlet's fiery willful spirit. <br /><br />The Sound of Music is good, too. But, I don't think I'm cut out to be that 'good' and sweet. <br /><br />In the end, I'm just me.Savanna Kougarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058304572077474516.post-86975716469646721792010-10-13T08:54:01.203-05:002010-10-13T08:54:01.203-05:00Celia--a wonderfully creative article, and thought...Celia--a wonderfully creative article, and thought-provoking, too.

Carol has always been one of my favorite people, too. I'm not much inclined towared the goody-good people nor do I like musicals. As a kid growing up, I never cared for the movies where the stars burst into song and dance just when the plot got interessting. So maybe I'm a little Scarlett and a little Carol but mostly I'm a whole lot Linda.Linda Swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749255692298669394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058304572077474516.post-63795399486126585302010-10-12T15:13:17.829-05:002010-10-12T15:13:17.829-05:00OMG, I remember seeing the Carol Burnett/curtain r...OMG, I remember seeing the Carol Burnett/curtain rod scene when I was a kid. Just thinking about it makes me laugh. <br /><br />I'd have to put myself someone where Scarlett and Carol, probably inching closer to the former than the latter. No one would mistake me for Maria. As for my heroines, they'll probably more like Scarlett, although they're not so good at being manipulative as she is. Mmm...now I'm going to have to try to write one that is.<br /><br />BTW, wasn't Rhett Butler from Charleston?
