Biografia

In 1982 she was the cover model for Sports Illustrated's annual swimsuit issue.

Daughter of late Anthony Alt--a US Army Reserve colonel and a New York City fire chief--and Muriel Alt.

"Playboy" Magazine called her "The most beautiful woman in the world".

Mother was a former model.

Attended Hofstra University in Hempstead, Long Island, NY, on an ROTC scholarship.

I never thought I was the most beautiful model out there or the most sexy woman, but I was a hard worker.

I have taken a Ferrari up to 185 mph.

When I start to sweat and get all red, they say, "Carol, we're ready to shoot."

Just because you're beautiful, they think you can't act. It makes me work harder. I've got a lot to prove.

There was really no friendship in modeling, though a certain amount of warmth comes from running into models you know on shoots, because you end up in so many unfamiliar places, from Alaska to Africa.
