Does anybody remember a comedienne from the 1940's? All that I can remember was that she used to wear a hat with the tag hanging down from it. I think that she was a "country" actress.

Born Sarah Ophelia Colley, she was the daughter of a prosperous lumberman in Centerville, TN, and she attended tony Ward-Belmont College in Nashville as a theater major. As a young woman she favored classical music, not country. In college she focused especially on her dance classes, which would serve her well as she developed her top-notch stage presence, and after college she taught dance for several years.
