I don’t think it was anyone famous—a generous businessman who helped other talented youngsters as well.

Why the rule about never telling anyone who her benefactor was?

R8. It may be that the benefactor did not want everyone coming out of the woodwork asking for support

The benefactor was never named because Burnett had to serve up the hole of her UCLA fiancé (Don Saroyan) as part of the arrangement.
It was a mutual agreement, all around.

Q: You’ve had some incredible luck. You write about a benefactor who saw you perform when you were studying at UCLA, then loaned you $1,000 to go to New York to pursue your dream of being in a Broadway musical. The catch was that you couldn’t reveal his identity. Did you ever hear from him again?
A: I paid him back, five years to the day, just as he’d asked. Years later, when I was doing the Burnett Show, his wife called the office and said, “If you ever get down to San Diego, we’d like to take you and your husband to lunch.” I was so thrilled. We went and had lunch, and he was kind of quiet, reserved, but very nice. As we were walking back to our car, his wife took hold of my arm and said, “You know, when your name comes up in conversation, or if you’re on television and other people are around, he doesn’t say anything. He just smiles.” It was their secret. He died a few years later, but I’ve never revealed his name, not even to my kids, because that was a promise.

She had decent legs. The rest, not so much.

Nah- that story sounds like meeting up with a trick after you make good. My wrinkle is- what makes you think her secret benefactor was a man?

I bet it was Scotty Bowers.
