I am not familiar with this person although she looks so familiar for some reason. I enjoyed reading your biographical story and love how you chose to write about a female comedian. You brought her to life. It is evident that a great deal of work went into this. So well written and I like how you separated out the paragraphs - it helped to really take in each milestone. Thank you for sharing.
Best wishes,
Amelie

I appreciate the review. I am snocked how little some of our trailblazers are known. She was one in a million.

I enjoyed reading your very informative essay about women comedians, with your primary focus on Minnie Pearl. I enjoyed watching Minnie on Hee Haw, and thought that was all there was.
Personally, Moms Mably and Joan Rivers made me laugh hysterically with their stand-up routines, but I looked forward to Minnie Pearl. Thank you for letting us know how full and meaningful her life was.

Minnie Pearl never met anyone who didn't become a friend. I got some of my humor from her, some from Erma Bombeck, and others. Minnie was a trailblazer, and a much admired lady. Thanks for the read. Karen

Such a nicely crafted dissertation on the role and history of women in the entertainment business. So much in here about Mini Pearl. I love how Johnny Cash presented that award. I so recall her on HeHaw growing up. That show was coming in rated real high week after week. My favorites will always be LUCY! and Carol Burnett. My wife and I visited Jamestown and the Lucy museum. Great trip!

Wow, I sure would have enjoyed that. She was great. But Carol is my favorite. She is so talented in her characters. Who will ever forget "Went With the Wind"or Momma's family? Thanks for the read. Karen

This is a neat tribute to all the female comedians and especially Minnie Pearl. I always liked her and grew up with her and Tennessee Ernie Ford on television.

Who can forget Tennessee Ernie Ford on the I Love Lucy show? And his voice? Minnie was a great lady. Thank you for the review and the six. Kren

Let me start by saying I am an African American man of color. After Elon Musk, I feel the need to make that distinction. I loved Minnie Pearl as much as any good ole boy from the deepest part of the South. Why? Because Minnie Pearl belonged to America, All of America. Black, white, Asian, Latino, Jewish, maybe even Arabian. She was a genuine jewel and yes, she is missed. Thank you so much for writing this awesome mini bio on a great American gem.

Thank you for the read and review. Six stars are so shiny. Haven't seen you for a while. I hope you are doing okay. Karen

I am well, thank you. Obviously you are doing well also. It is always a pleasure to converse with you.

Winter has had me down, but I am coming back. Mid November to Mid March is my worst time of year. Allergies and back pain.
I am getting better. Weather is not dependable anymore. But, we keep keep plugging along. Best wishes to you and yours, Karen

I really enjoyed this essay on one of the true unsung heroines of pop culture, the famous Minnie Pearl with that equally famous tag on her hat on the Hee Haw shows. I didn't know that she came from such a cultured background, it certainly contrasts with the character she played on the show. Also that the famous tag itself was rather an accident; Many times these idioms come about this way, I guess. Most of her early career and her later exploits were unknown to us in New York; we were introduced to her on the Hee Haw show. I think of all those historic women characters, Lucille Ball was the most talented, and the one who really shaped the modern concept of the female sitcom heroine. Most of the others were really rooted in the Vaudeville tradition, but Lucy Ball broke out of that and into this concept of the modern American woman, the modern homemaker and wife and mother, with modern issues. She had such an influence on later female comedians like Carol Burnett and Mary Tyler Moore. estory

Thank you for the read and review. My all time favorite is Carol Burnett. But, she always said if it wasn't for Lucille Ball she wouldn't be where she was.

Lucille Ball. She was a very funny person and was known for her kindness. Thanks for the read and review. Karen
Comment from sandragee
To me, Minnie Pearl was a funny lady with a price tag on her hat. Your bio showed me she was more than her alter ego. There were so many layers to the woman, but her study of drama surprised me the most about the funny lady. Your detailed bio kept this reader interested from beginning to end.

It was my first attempt at a biography. I challenge myself every January to write a new type of poetry or a new category of story. Last year was a western. "Hardly Quicksilver", that took me to November to do it. My muse was no help at all. Writing this was easy. The research was very difficult. There was not a lot to find. And sometimes the writings were contrary. But, I am stubborn, so I kept looking. It only took me to March. I am so glad you liked it. She was a great lady. Karen

Stay stubborn and keep writing.

I remember watching her on television when I was a child and she was so hilarious. This is an excellent biography of her life, I really did not know anything about her. She was a trail blazer for women in comedy and she did live a full life. Excellent writing here that holds the reader's interest.

I appreciate the review. I never knew she had cancer, or that she funded, gave her name, and spread cancer centers all the way to the U.K.! That is really something. The Sarah Conner Cancer Research Institute. Karen

I remember Minnie Pearl from Hee Haw on Saturday nights. She was quite a character. I remember the dresses and the hat. The price tag that dangled from it. This was very interesting. Gretchen
