Listen Again: Julia Gets Wise with Carol Burnett

And I picked a scene for the class to do that would be kind of light because the other kids in the class were doing these heavy, dramatic things. And I felt, well, I don't know, I don't want to do that. So I came out, and I don't remember what it was, but I had a line or two, and they laughed where they should.

Then I got the idea I should interview more people like that. So I had it all set up to interview Lana Turner, who was a huge movie star at the time.
