Carol Elaine Channing (born January 31, 1921) is an American singer and actress. She is the recipient of three Tony Awards (including one for lifetime achievement), a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination. Channing is best remembered for originating, on Broadway, the musical-comedy roles of bombshell Lorelei Lee in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and matchmaking widow Dolly Gallagher Levi in Hello, Dolly!. Carol Channing was born January 31, 1921, in Seattle, the daughter of a prominent newspaper editor, who was very active in the Christian Science movement. She attended high school in San Francisco and later worked as a model in Los Angeles. She attended prestigious Bennington College in Vermont, where she majored in drama and dance, and supplemented her work by taking parts in nearby Pocono Resort area. She initially made her mark on Broadway in "Gentleman Prefer Blondes", playing Lorelei Lee. In "Hello Dolly", Channing played Dolly Gallagher Levi, the witty, manipulative widow intent upon finding a wealthy husband. The musical won 10 Tony awards in 1964, including Channing's for best actress in a comedy. Jacqueline Kennedy and her two children made their first public appearance after President John F. Kennedy's death by seeing Channing perform in "Hello Dolly", and later visited her backstage. She appeared in the film Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967). Her son is a Pulitizer Prize-nominated finalist cartoonist and she continues to practice her Christian Science religion. She is perhaps best known for her Tony Award-winning role in Hello, Dolly! She also appeared on Sesame Street in 1984, singing to Sammy the Snake (performed by Jim Henson). The song was "Hello, Sammy!" sung to the tune of "Hello, Dolly!", Channing's signature Broadway song. Channing has received three Tony Awards: in 1964, as Best Actress (Musical) for Hello, Dolly!; in 1968, a Special Award; and in 1995, a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Carol Channing (born January 31, 1921) is an American singer and actress. Some of her Disney roles include Canina La Fur in Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, the Ceiling Fan in The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars and a guest appearance in episode 423 of The Muppet Show. Channing was born in Seattle, Washington, the only child of George and Adelaide (née Glaser, 1886–1984) Channing. A city editor at the Seattle Star, her father took a job in San Francisco and the family moved when Channing was two weeks old. Her father later became a successful Christian Sciencepractitioner, editor, and teacher. She attended Aptos Middle School and Lowell High School in San Francisco. At Lowell, Channing was a member of its famed Lowell Forensic Society, the nation's oldest high-school debate team. According to Channing's 2002 memoir, when she left home to attend Bennington College in Vermont, her mother Adelaide informed Channing that her father George, who Channing had believed was born in Rhode Island, had actually been born in Augusta, Georgia. Adelaide said that George's father was German American and his mother was African American. Channing's grandmother had moved with George to Providence for his opportunities. According to Channing's account, her mother reportedly did not want [Channing] to be surprised "if she had a black baby". As she was of majority European-American ancestry, Channing continued to identify as white as a performer on Broadway and in Hollywood. She revealed her African-American ancestry in her autobiography, Just Lucky I Guess (2002). Her autobiography contains a photograph of her mother but has no photos of her father or son. The book says her father's birth certificate was destroyed in a fire. Carol Channing was the voice of the character Professor Cornelia C. Contralto II, on the animated children's series The Magic School Bus.
