The 85-year-old made it known that she and the fellow star waited for a long time but soon got bored and decided to try something crazy once Mike alighted from the elevator. She told Clarkson:
"...I swear I don't remember which one of us decided that we would do something silly when Mike got out of the elevator. So one of us said, 'Let's be kissing or something.'"
While the duo went on with their plan to get cozy, the elevator opened with some secret service men in it, and Mime was nowhere to be found. Even more shocking was when a lady walked out, and Burnett swore it was Lady Bird Johnson, a former first lady.

Following that period, the TV stars went on to appear together in three TV classics. Julie Andrews's career pretty much kicked off with her pivotal "Mary Poppins" role.
