Burnett dreamed of heading to New York after her college graduation but couldn't afford the gas to get there. So how did she?

As the oft-repeated story goes, a wealthy couple was so impressed by one of Burnett's performances that they offered her a $1,000 loan... on three conditions: she would pay them back in five years (interest-free), pay it forward by helping others, and never reveal their identity — a promise she has kept to this very day.
