This is the inspiring story of one such actress who would go from total obscurity to starring on Broadway after only a few years in NYC. Ultimately she would become a living legend and the television pioneer known as Carol Burnett. "Pipe Dream" is a passion project that took seven constantly-interrupted years to write, produce, film and edit. As a lifelong fan of Carol Burnett, I was curious as to how her road to fame came about. Once I began to research her backstory, I was inspired to learn that there wasn't any nepotism or easy road to stardom that got her to where she is today. Born into poverty and losing both parents early in their lives to alcohol-related illnesses, hers is a story of guts and determination to entertain people through song and laughter. I wanted to tell this story of those earlier years...and boy did we get lucky in the casting of Lisa Ferris as our "Carol". See less
