Carol Channing is a huge Broadway legend, but I know her from television and the movies where she was an absolute genius...so funny...so glamorous. Do you have a favorite Carol TV moment?

Carol on "Laugh-In" is unforgettable. So is Carol singing a ‘reworked version’ of “Hello, Dolly!” to Sammy the Snake on “Sesame Street”. They were doing a duet about the letter ‘S’. Loved that. Even more so... Carol’s BRILLIANT “Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend” duet with Miss Piggy is a must see. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYBO0AwvS_U More recently -- Carol's Voice Over on "Family Guy" was hysterical. So many classic 'Carol' TV moments....
We all have our favorite Carol moments. She's is the ultimate performer. But what is CAROL'S absolute favorite stage moment?

Carol will always tell you that her absolute favorite stage moment is her next one.
Between film, stage, television who did Carol like working with the best? Any body that she wishes she could have worked with that she didn't get the opportunity to?

Carol has many 'favorites', but George Burns is top of the list. Regarding performers Carol would like to work with, number one is Lily Tomlin. They've known each other for a long time, but they've never had the opportunity to work together. In fact, Lily waited at the Stage Door to meet Carol on tour with "Hello, Dolly!" when she was growing up in Detroit. Carol adores Lily.
What inspires you most about Carol Channing? Is she as much fun in person as she seems to be?

Where to start? Carol - past and present - is a one-of-a-kind megawatt dynamo on stage and off. At 90, she's still 'wow'-ing audiences. She's also a tireless campaigner for getting Arts back in the Schools. (http://www.channingarts.org) Carol is endlessly fascinating, inspirational and loaded with dazzling talent, humor and charm. I had so much fun making this film...I didn't want production to end.

Dori, I saw the film today and thought it absolutely fabulous, wonderful, emotional. Can't wait to see it again. Is Carol's energy & vitality due to her special diet? I've read over the years that she brings her own foods, specially prepared, whenever she goes to a restaurant. That she only eats certain foods.
It's great to be able to tell you directly how much I loved your film on Carol Channing. I was there on Saturday April 30th for the Tribeca showing. Unfortunately I had to leave right after the film ended and didn't get to hear that Q & A. Do you know how I can find it on the computer. Didn't see it on HULU the next day. Thank you for any information you can give me.
