He dominated a niche portion of the entertainment industry off the screen. He created a company (Star Waggons) that rented customized motor home and RV trailer dressing rooms.

You are correct. I remember hearing about that listening to a Carol Burnett interview. He used to buy up old set pieces from the show and use them to help create trailers.

Huh. I listened to her for the first time in 20 years on the Slow Burn podcast about the scandal.

I didn't come away with much of a changed view, but it certainly humanized her a bit more.
