AS the daughter of one of the world's top comedians, it would be easy to follow in his footsteps and pursue a light-hearted career path.<\/p>\n

With five kids in his brood, Sir Billy Connolly must have expected one of his offspring to avoid the showbiz scene altogether.<\/p>\n
However, becoming an undertaker – like his daughter Amy – must have been way down his list of potential avenues.<\/p>\n
The 37-year-old started out in the fashion industry before choosing a deadly serious alternative.<\/p>\n
Billy, 80, previously said: "Amy is studying to be an undertaker.<\/p>\n
"She was working as a dress designer in Los Angeles and she got fed up with it.<\/p>\n
"She saw an advert for an intern in a cemetery and she loved it the second she did it. It's the truth. She loves it."<\/p>\n
Other than her father's revelation about her working life, Amy and the rest of Billy's kids usually stay out of the limelight.<\/p>\n
