Carol Wayne(1942-1985)
- Actress
Carol was a beautiful comedienne who appeared as the "Matinee Lady" on
the
The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962).
She regularly appeared during one of Carson's recurring sketches known as
"The Tea Time Movie." Carson played the lecherous character "Art Fern"
who would make references to Carol's ample bosom. She played opposite
Carson in over 100 sketches. She also played on one of the most popular
episodes of Les espions (1965) opposite
Robert Culp. While Carol seemed to make no
attempt to downplay her role as a dim-witted sex symbol, in reality she
did make many attempts to hone her acting skills by working in the
multitude of situation and sketch comedies that were popular throughout the 1970s. Any
performer will tell you that comedy is not easy, but Carol and sister
Nina managed quite well working opposite some of the most respected talent in the entertainment
business. Both Nina and Carol appeared in different episodes of
Ma sorcière bien aimée (1964) in the 1960s.
Carol had one son, Alex, with rock artist and photographer Barry Feinstein. She died under extremely suspicious circumstances during a 1985 vacation in Mexico, and the events surrounding her untimely demise have to date gone unresolved. Although it may never be proven, many involved with the case suspected foul play was involved. But many will always remember Carol fondly for her charm and cheerful nature on many classic TV shows and a movie released in 1968.
