Minnie Pearl's Musuem in Nashville, Tennessee. Sarah Ophelia Colley Cannon
(1912-1996), known to the country music and comedy world as Minnie Pearl, made
her debut on the Grand Ole Opry radio show in 1940 at a time when it was
unheard of for a woman to do stand-up comedy. Her boisterous, cheerful
"Howdyyyyy!", wide-brimmed straw hat with its dangling $1.98 price tag, toothy
grin and calico and gingham dresses were her trademarks for more than a half
century on the Grand Ole Opry country music show and 20 years on the
syndicated television show Hee Haw. She was inducted into the Country
Music Hall of Fame in 1975, the first comedian to be so honored. Lightly
toned and creased. Postmark has left impression at left cheek and chin of
photograph (does not touch margin. Part of date stamp at left blank margin.
