Carol Burnett, an iconic American actor and comedian, is best known for her groundbreaking comedy-variety show, The Carol Burnett Show, which ran from 1967 to 1978. At 91, Burnett is still captivating audiences with her role in the Apple TV+ series Palm Royale, a drama set in 1969 Palm Beach, Florida.
Born on April 26, 1933, in San Antonio, Texas, Burnett was raised by her grandmother due to her parents’ alcoholism. They moved to Hollywood in the 1940s, and Burnett studied theatre at the University of Southern California.
Her big break came in 1957 on The Ed Sullivan Show with a comedic song that spoofed young women’s adoration for heartthrob Elvis Presley, making her an overnight sensation.

Woman Goes to Neighbor’s Garage Sale, Finds Her Missing Daughter’s Jacket — Story of the Day

Kaylee’s daughter, Amanda, went missing two weeks ago. Despite extensive search efforts, there were no leads. One day, while putting up flyers, Kaylee stopped by her neighbor Angela’s garage sale and was horrified to see Amanda’s jacket—the one she wore the night she disappeared.
Kaylee approached Angela, demanding, “Where did you get this?” Angela, startled, explained she bought it at a second-hand store near the bus station. Determined, Kaylee drove to the store, hoping for clues. The seller vaguely recalled a girl matching Amanda’s description who sold the jacket for bus fare.
Kaylee’s hope was reignited. She searched the bus station for more information but found none. Feeling defeated, she sat on a bench and found an address in Amanda’s jacket pocket. It led to a neighboring town where Amanda’s biological mother lived.
At the house, a disheveled woman confirmed Amanda had been there but was no longer. Desperate, Kaylee continued her search and finally spotted Amanda sheltering from the rain on a porch. “Amanda?!” she called out.
“Mom!” Amanda cried, running to Kaylee. They hugged tightly, both in tears. Amanda explained she had sought her biological mother but regretted it. “You’re my real mom,” Amanda admitted. Kaylee forgave her, and they went home together, relieved and reunited.
