A Look Back To Ken Berry's Early Life:
Ken Berry was born on November 3, 1933, in a Moline City of a Rock Island County, Illinois. He is best known for his numerous comical appearances on Television, probably when he used to partner with Carol Burnett and Vickie Lawrence.
At the age of 13, Ken got impressed by the dancing performance of his grade school's carnival event and decided what he has to do with his life.
Two years later, he won a local talent contest for performing tap dancing and got an offer to join a traveling performance ensemble called Horace Heidt Youth Opportunity Program.
At 16, he joined the Horace Heidt Youth Opportunity Program and toured towns all across the nation, which was only possible due to his supportive parents.
The troupe even traveled to several countries like Germany, Ireland, England and the UK to entertain various nationalities.
Dancing, singing, and military covered the significant portions of Ken's life, and he even used to mix up those together most often.
As of 1948, he got into the All-Army talent show and appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show. Ken later moved to California in 1955 as his army hitched up.
During the stay in California in 1957, he enrolled in Falcon Studios to learn acting and also worked at the Cabaret Theatre for $11 a week. For next six years, he got himself engaged with Billy Barnes Revue, and it was it through which he met his actress/writer wife, Jackie Joseph.
The two got married on May 29, 1960, and added two members to the family, adopting two children after few years of their marriage.

The couple's son is John Kenneth and daughter is Jennifer Kate, who got adopted in the year 1964 and 1965 respectively.
By then, Ken had already switched to TV as he made his big break with a regular role on the Old West comedy program FTroop in 1965. He later got several opportunities to perform in many popular TV shows, like The Caroll Burnett Show and its spinoff Mama's Family.

Some sources also claim Ken to be divorced with his wife in 1976 failing to unveil the apparent reason for the split.
Ken's last appearance was notably in 2006, where he showed himself in a television show "My First Time: Variety is the Spice of Life." He entirely remained hidden in the latter days, and with that, his death news has been circulating now and again.
But this doesn't mean that he is not alive today as no any sources have confirmed the death of the TV actor till today.
Talking about his earnings, several sources confirm his net worth to be around $4 million.
