Carol Channing falls, breaks hip and legs
October 6th, 2008 by Scott Marks
National treasure (although I’ve never been quite certain why) Carol Channing hit the deck on September 23 causing her to break her hip and legs. The fall took place in her Modesto, California home.
The spill occurred one day before the 87-year old star of Hello, Dolly! (and not much else, unless you count Skidoo!) was set to kick off Hello, Carol! A Celebration of Carol Channing, an exhibition on her life and work. According to the Modesto Bee, “The exhibition is scheduled to run at the (San Francisco) Museum of Performance & Design through March 14.”
Bing always warned Carol to work with a net.
