Of course we loved her from the Carol Burnett show.
While a senior in high school, Vickie entered the Miss Fireball contest hosted by the local fire department. A newspaper reporter covering the event noted that she bore a striking resemblance to Carol Burnett. Vickie cut the article out and sent it to Burnett along with a fan letter. Later Burnett called her and told her she wanted to come watch the Miss Fireball contest. Pregnant at the time, the celebrity did indeed sneak in to watch Lawrence and the rest is history.
9. Reba McEntire is a baby boomer born in March. 3/28/55
Reba took control over her country music career in 1984 and has since been known as The Queen of Country. She is one of the best-selling artists of all time, having sold more than 85 million records worldwide.
