Woman Goes to Neighbor’s Garage Sale, Finds Her Missing Daughter’s Jacket — Story of the Day

Kaylee’s daughter, Amanda, went missing two weeks ago. Despite extensive search efforts, there were no leads. One day, while putting up flyers, Kaylee stopped by her neighbor Angela’s garage sale and was horrified to see Amanda’s jacket—the one she wore the night she disappeared.

Kaylee approached Angela, demanding, “Where did you get this?” Angela, startled, explained she bought it at a second-hand store near the bus station. Determined, Kaylee drove to the store, hoping for clues. The seller vaguely recalled a girl matching Amanda’s description who sold the jacket for bus fare.

Kaylee’s hope was reignited. She searched the bus station for more information but found none. Feeling defeated, she sat on a bench and found an address in Amanda’s jacket pocket. It led to a neighboring town where Amanda’s biological mother lived.

At the house, a disheveled woman confirmed Amanda had been there but was no longer. Desperate, Kaylee continued her search and finally spotted Amanda sheltering from the rain on a porch. “Amanda?!” she called out.

“Mom!” Amanda cried, running to Kaylee. They hugged tightly, both in tears. Amanda explained she had sought her biological mother but regretted it. “You’re my real mom,” Amanda admitted. Kaylee forgave her, and they went home together, relieved and reunited.

One of the attendees was Julie Andrews, the legendary star of *The Sound of Music* and a close friend of Burnett. She joked, “She brings out the best in me, and I think I bring out the worst in her. I don’t know why!”

Andrews remembered meeting Burnett at a Chinese restaurant long ago: “When we met, no one else could get a word in. We bonded like that, and it has never changed,” Burnett said about their lasting friendship.

According to Playbill, some of Broadway’s biggest stars, like Bernadette Peters, Billy Porter, Sutton Foster, and Kristin Chenoweth, will perform musical numbers in honor of Burnett. She herself is a Broadway veteran, having received Tony nominations for *Once Upon a Mattress* and *Moon Over Buffalo*.

“I’m so excited NBC decided to throw me a birthday party and invited all of my closest friends,” Burnett said in a statement. “I can’t wait to look back at so many wonderful moments throughout my career. I feel so lucky to share this night with everyone.”

Carol Burnett is best known for her groundbreaking variety/sketch series, *The Carol Burnett Show*, which aired for 11 seasons on CBS. It was the first show of its kind hosted by a woman, and Burnett is widely seen as a trailblazer for female comedians.

She has recently received many lifetime achievement awards, including the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award.

In 2019, the Golden Globes named their television lifetime achievement award after her, calling it the “Carol Burnett Award,” and she was the first person to receive it.

Last year, she returned to TV with an important guest role in the final season of *Better Call Saul*.

In an interview before her 90th birthday, Burnett shared that she doesn’t feel her age, calling herself a “late bloomer” compared to other performers.

“I can’t wrap my head around it,” Burnett told *People Magazine*. “I still feel like I’m about 11, but I’m amazed. It sure went fast. But I’m glad because I’ve got all my parts — my hips, my knees, and my brain, so I’m happy about that.”

As Carol Burnett celebrated her 91st birthday on April 26, the television legend was still making waves. She recently celebrated her role in the new miniseries *Palm Royale*, appeared on the cover of *Harper’s Bazaar* in March, and almost saw her playful birthday wish involving *Maestro* star Bradley Cooper come true during her appearance on *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* just days earlier.
