Carol had a really difficult childhood with a dark background, as she was born to alcoholic parents, and was not the happiest child although actually raised by her grandmother M. E. White, and moving to an apartment near Hollywood. Her situation improved when she discovered her acting talent during her college years, although she couldn’t think she would ever seriously work as an actress, despite having had such a great dream since childhood. Carol matriculated from Holywood High School, and then began studying journalism at UCLA courtesy of a gift, but switched to acting as part of the writing program. She was then sponsored to move to New York, where after a year auditioning, Burnett made her debut on TV in 1955, appearing in “The Paul Winchell and Jerry Mahoney Show”, only the beginning of Burnett’s bright career and net worth.
Carol had several more minor roles in shows before appearing in the famous “The Garry Moore Show” together with Durward Kirby and Garry Moore, definitely Carol’s break-through performance which also increased her net worth considerably, especially as she became a regular until 1962. Subsequently, she became known for her appearances in such movies as “Once Upon a Mattress”, “Pete ‘n’ Tillie”, “Get Bruce” “Annie” and “Post Grad” among many others.
However, none compared with “The Carol Burnett Show”, in which Carol starred together with Vicki Lawrence, and Lyle Waggoner, which made her a household name in the US. The show ran from 1967 to 78, winning 23 Emmy Awards among mTin Conway, Harvey KormanTin Conway, Harvey Korman, any others, and maintaining its popularity with audiences because of the varied mixture of humor, satire and slapstick, so contributing significantly to Carol’s bank account. Concurrently, she was the first star to appear on “Sesame Street” in 1969, again ingratiating herself with the TV audience.
Her own show was hard to follow successfully, but Carol frequently guest-starred in TV series, including “All My Children”, “Mama’s Family” and “Mad About You”, as well as appearing on the Broadway stage in “Moon Over Buffalo” in the mid-90s, and “Putting it Together” in 2000.
Carol is still active in the entertainment industry – more recently in 2014 she participated in “The Colbert Report” created by Ben Karlin, Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart and Joe Antonetti, and has an annual recurring role in “Hawaii-Five 0”.
In her personal life, Carol has married three times, firstly to college boyfriend Don Saroyan from 1955 to ’62, then to Joe Hamilton – a TV producer – from 1963 to ’84, with whom she had three daughters. Since 2001 she has been married to musician Brian Miller, 23 years her junior; they continue to live in Los Angeles.

Many viewers also know Karyn Parsons as an actress from “Lush Life” – she not only appeared in it, but was also the co-producer, co-writer and co-creator of the show. However, in the show business industry Karyn has been working for a relatively short span of time, and maybe that is the reason her net worth isn’t rather higher.

Stacy Dash made her debut in 1982 when she appeared in “Farrell for the People” alongside Ed O‘Neill. Then followed such famous shows as “The Cosby Show“, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and “TV 101“. Her movie career started with the Richard Pryor film “Moving” (1988). The 80‘s were actually a really successful period for the young actress, since her other two movies, “Mo’ Money” and “Renaissance Man”, were also big hits. Her real big break, however, was in 1995 when she appeared in Amy Heckerling’s “Clueless” as Dionne Marie Davenport. The comedy, which was based on Jane Austen‘s novel “Emma”, was very well received and grossed $55 million, thus increasing Dash’s net worth considerably. The film also made her and fellow actresses Brittany Murphy and Alicia Silverstone true international stars, probably more so as it was soon made into TV series and Dash reprised her role as Dionne. The series ran from 1996 till 1999, and also featured actress and singer Cher. During that period, Stacy also appeared in films like the crime drama “Cold Around the Heart” (1997) and comedy “Personals” (1999). Naturally all of these appearances enhanced Stacy’s net worth.
Stacey Dash is also known for her appearances in music videos. In 2001 she was a part of the music video for the Carl Thomas song “Emotional”, and in 2004 she appeared alongside Kanye West in the music video for his single “All Falls Down.” At the same time Dash continued to have a successful film career with movies “American Primitive”, “I Could Never Be Your Woman”, “Nora’s Hair Salon II”, “Ghost Image” and “Fashion Victim”. She did not, however, forget television and appeared in the series “Single Ladies” in the role of Valerie Stokes but, unfortunately, she did not return for the second season. She was also a part of the reality TV show “Celebrity Circus”, in which celebrities had to perform circus tricks. Dash was one of the finalists, finishing second after Antonio Sabato, Jr. In addition, she also had guest roles in “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “The Game”. All these roles in movies and TV shows helped to increase her overall net worth.
Besides her acting career, Stacey Dash also has her own lingerie line “Letters of Marque” and posed for Playboy in 2006.
In her personal life, Stacy Dash was first married to Brian Lovell(1999-2000), and then James Maby(2005-06).
