Ghostley began acting in television and Broadway at the same time. This was GhostleyвЂ™s big break after that, she worked constantly for the next five decades. This led to her being hired for the Broadway revue Leonard SillmanвЂ™s New Faces of 1952, with Paul Lynde, Robert Clary, Eartha Kitt, Ronny Graham and Carol Lawrence. She dropped out of the University of Oklahoma to pursue her career, initially forming an act with her sister Gladys, the Ghostley Sisters.В Alice then went solo in New York, becoming popular as a singer and comedian on the cabaret stage. Born in Missouri, raised in Arkansas and Oklahoma (her father was a telegraph operator), Ghostley began performing in school theatricals in her childhood. No doubt you already know where you know her from, and weвЂ™ll hit that, but honestly Ghostley was a woman of so many accomplishments as an actress and performer, of both stage and screen, that her career is impressive nearly from the beginning.
