TV’s Laugh star had been Carol Channing’s stand-in during the Broadway production and played Dolly, herself, in a 1973 West Coast production. Her voice was developed as a child trying to be heard above eight siblings. "I have a big mouth. When I was young, I only mouthed the hymns, so I wouldn't drown everyone else out. I have my quiet moments. But I don't have many."
