Carol Channing, star of Broadway's 'Hello Dolly!' dies at 97

Legendary Broadway star Carol Channing has died, her publicist, Harlan Boll, told CNN on Tuesday.

She was 97.
With her raspy voice and huge smile, Channing was best known for her Tony Award-winning role as Dolly Levi in the hit Broadway musical "Hello Dolly!"
Fellow stars of the stage and screen, including "Hamilton" creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda, paid tribute to Channing on social media Tuesday.

Years later Channing also found out that her father had been harboring a secret.
He was listed as "colored" on his birth certificate because of his mother, though his father was Nordic German.
Channing told CNN's Larry King in 2002 that she was proud of her mixed heritage.
"I was 16 years old and my mother told me," she said. "And you know, only the reaction on me was, 'Gee, I got the greatest genes in show business.' "
