The famous 50s comedian Carol Burnett recalls the early days of her and how she used to con men during her part-time job.

&#8220;I was a con artist&#8221; &#8211; 89-Year-Old Carol Burnett Narrates the Hilarious Story of How She Tricked Men for Extra Nickle During Her Life in NYC

The legacy of Carol Burnett spans the spectrum from some unforgettable skits to
her eponymous self-titled variety show to classic movies. This gifted, versatile
actress has given viewers plenty of legendary comic moments to remember. While
her iconic cleaning woman character still stands among the best. Her highly
naturalistic performance and dramatic chop are one of the things that people
admired in the 50s when television had no glamorous color themes. And it is
astounding to see that even after growing old with life, the Emmy winner hasn’t
lost her spark. As she left, the audience was stunned by her stories back from
the days of struggle.

To celebrate her upcoming 90th birthday, Carol Burnett recently sat down with
Jimmy Kimmel to talk about the glorious years of her career. During the
conversation, she also recalled her life in New York and how she used to trick
men. The comedian stated that before fame she was a part-timer at a ladies’ tea
room.



But she used to sneak into the oyster bar downstairs where men used to visit.
And later started taking their coats because her job was based on tips she
collected. The Friendly Fire alum also revealed how she cleverly used to cut the
loop from coats so she could make money.

“I would get instead of a quarter I’d get an extra dime, I’d get 35 cents so
yeah I was a con artist,” explained the 89-year-old. For the unversed, this
incredible performer will turn 90 on April 26.


CAROL BURNETT HAS THE SOUL OF A YOUNG KID

To cover the groundbreaking life story of soon-to-be 90, PEOPLE recently had a
conversation with the Noises Off star. In this interview, she told the
publication she cannot imagine that time has passed so fastly. Although she is
ready to turn 90, she still feels like she is a 11-year-old girl. According to
her, unlike most old people, her body is intact because she can go to places by
herself and her mind is still sound. So it is a win-win for her that she has led
a successful career and now enjoying her days of retirement happily.



Carol Burnett is one of the first women to host a comedy show which originally
aired on CBS. During her career, she has been honored with several accolades
including six Emmys, six Golden Globes, one Grammy, and a Kennedy Center Honors.
