Carol Burnett Recalls Betty Grable's Loud Coca-Cola Burps
16 Feb
Summary
- Carol Burnett shared a quirky habit of Betty Grable on her show.
- Grable constantly burped due to her love for Coca-Cola.
- Martha Raye humorously reacted to Grable's persistent burping.
Carol Burnett recently shared a memorable anecdote about Hollywood legend Betty Grable during a guest appearance on "The Carol Burnett Show." Grable, who was an idol to Burnett, proved to be as "adorable" and "very funny" as expected.
However, Grable possessed a peculiar habit: she constantly burped due to her significant consumption of Coca-Cola. Burnett, with vivid imitations, described the burps as "really, really loud."
During a rehearsal, co-guest Martha Raye, a friend of Grable's, humorously quipped, "Oh, for God's sakes, Betty, why don't you just fart and save your teeth?" This remark sent Burnett into fits of laughter.
Beyond the humorous incident, Burnett also recalled a more sentimental moment. She remembered placing her handprints in the courtyard at Grauman's Chinese Theatre alongside Grable's, a poignant memory she revisited when getting her own handprints made years later.
