Conversation

Me:  I've heard the stories, and it sounds like to become a major star, a woman had to be hard, tough as nails.  Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Barbara Stanwyck.  

But then I read about Jack Benny and Bob Newhart, and the impression I get is that they understood that letting the rest of the cast get the laughs was the way to success.  Not tough as nails at all.  Are there any women like them who made it big ?

PG:  (after a moment's thought) Carol Burnett.
