deelynna writes:: I'm pretty sure I've heard in an interview with her that it is her grandmother, her grandma raised her. When she first started out in acting she moved away from home and her grandma, of course, was worried. Carol and Grandma made the secret signal that meant "everything is okay". After a while, it just became a habit with her.; 20 of 22 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

larisssa writes:: Carol is saying hello to her Grandmother. It started when she got her first appearance on a TV show. She couldn't actually say hello on a live broadcast, so this was her special way of saying hello. It stuck with her even after her Grandmother's passing.; 14 of 16 people found this comment helpful.
