Minnie Pearl was country music’s premier comedienne for more than fifty years. The long-time Grand Ole Opry star delighted both rural and urban audiences with her down-home brand of humour. Throughout her entire career, the character known as ‘Minnie Pearl’ lived her private life, the epitome of middle-class southern womanhood, as Mrs. Henry Cannon, the wife of a successful Nashville businessman. She took her role of ‘Miss Minnie’ very seriously, working for hours to get the characterisation just right. Alongside her forty-year career on the Grand Ole Opry, she also appeared regularly on Hee Haw in a variety of comic skits, was one of the few country music acts to be featured on NBC’s This Is Your Life, and was a popular chat show guest.
