It's her one man (woman) show based on the life of Harvey Korman!

Working title is "ME AND MRS. WIGGINS" !

Oh, Lordy, Max! Is that what Harvey looks like now?!
Well, Harvey IS up there, y'know.

One of the funniest songs/skits he did on Carol's show was about a middle-age swinger who finds out to his horror that he needs bifocal eyeglasses.

i know they've been kicking around MATTRESS with Burnett directing (as she did at UCLA) and playing the Queen, but i got the impression this was a legit play, more along the lines of MOON OVER BUFFALO.

As I mentioned in the other thread, Carol said at her book signing that she and Julie Andrews are planning to do a TV special together.
Also, Hollywood Arms may become either a TV show, or a TV movie.

Actually she said that her and Julie were talking about (as in throwing around the idea) of doing another show together...nothing definite.

I remember seeing him in "Dracula - Dead and Loving It" and actually not recognizing him for a while.

Precisely....IN THE STORY he steals Mrs. Wiggins from Tudball.

It's an indepth story of the three of them; very sexual ... Tudball, Wiggins and Mother Marcus!


Actually, it sounded clever but you're right, I ****ed it up!
Damn!

Off the ATKINS DIET for me tonight drowning my shame in Creme Brulee'!

For those that went to the booksigning, what all was said about Carol doing another special with Julie?

Carol said that she and Julie are going to do a special looking back at their specials.

That sounds vaguely like when they give Emmys to awards shows.
