Carol Burnett knows a thing or two about the Emmys. As she has won six times out of 22 nominations- Burnett, who was born in Texas but moved to Hollywood as a child, studied theater arts at UCLA before decamping for New York to pursue an acting career. Her big break came in the late 1950s, when she was cast in the off-Broadway production of Once Upon a Mattress and the CBS variety series The Garry Moore Show. By 1962, at just 29 years old, she scored her first Emmy for Garry Moore.
