She typically played in the Monty Python's Flying Circus ; Absurde, n'est-il pas? (1969) sketches when a beautiful woman was called for - as opposed to the typical female role which had the male members in drag.

Once referred to as "The Female Python," she cited John Cleese as her favorite performer to work with in the group due to his easy, relaxed nature and style.

Before her Python fame, Carol appeared in advertisements for Triumph motorcycles for 1971, in particular, the aborted Triumph 350cc Bandit model.

On November 29, 2003, she appeared on stage at The Royal Albert Hall for a tribute concert for late Beatle George Harrison with many of the Python members.

Though you hardly see her face in The Return of the Pink Panther, Carol played the beautiful girl who dives into the pool as Peter Sellers' Inspector Clouseau, sitting at the pool's edge, tips back to watch her and falls in: one of the most iconic images of the entire Pink Panther franchise, and shown in almost every montage concerning those films, or Sellers in general.

A character actress on stage, she has performed in such plays as "The Front Page," while also playing stripper Honey Bruce in a production of "Lenny."

Concert for George drummer Jim Keltner attended Pasadena High School with her.
