James Albert Varney, Jr. was born in Lexington, Kentucky, to Nancy Louise (Howard) and James Albert Varney, Sr. He became interested in theater as a teenager, winning state titles in drama competitions while a student at Lafayette High School in Lexington, Kentucky. At age 15 he played Ebeneezer Scrooge in a local children's theater production of "A Christmas Carol", and by 17 was performing professionally in nightclubs and coffee houses. He chose Nashville rather than New York or Los Angeles as a place to pursue his acting career and, with advertising executive John R. Cherry III, turned "Ernest P. Worrell" into a cash cow, making commercials for clients ranging from soft drinks to food stores and, eventually, Disney. Even though Ernest's catchphrase "KnowhutImean?" became a national craze almost immediately, Jim worked in TV and film for more than a decade before his famous alter-ego hit the big screen in Ernest Goes to Camp (1987).- Producer

- Carlotta King was a veteran of stage operettas and comic operas when 'Jack Warner' heard her on the radio. He decided if she looked as good as she sang, then she would play the lead in the musical The Desert Song (1929). Indeed, the blonde soprano's appearance was as attractive as her voice, and she made her film debut. King was next slated for a role as 'Arthur Lake's' girlfriend in _On With the Show (1929)_ but instead she signed with MGM in mid-1929.
She spent five months waiting for a version of "Rose Marie" that was never filmed, and with seven months left on her contract she returned to vaudeville.
