I found this short BIO about Joan Caroll on the net.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Joan Carroll (born January 18, 1932, Elizabeth, New Jersey) was a successful child star in movies between 1938 and 1948.

Biography[edit]

Born as Joan Felt, she became an accomplished child actress, scoring personal successes on Broadway in the hit musical Panama Hattie, and the 1940 film, Primrose Path, as Ginger Rogers's younger sister. Carroll became RKO Radio Pictures' resident juvenile personality in both "A" and "B" pictures. RKO starred Carroll in two zany comedy vehicles, Obliging Young Lady and Petticoat Larceny.

She continued to work in films as an adolescent, but less frequently. Two of her best-remembered pictures came from this period: Meet Me In St. Louis (1944) as Judy Garland and Margaret O'Brien's sister, and The Bells of St. Mary's (1945), in which she played a troubled teen daughter with an estranged father.

Currently residing in the American Southwest, Joan and her brother donated a historic family lamp to the Nevada State Museum on July 7, 2011.[1] The lamp was originally given to her father, Wright Lafayette Felt, who was the Public Works Administrator for Nevada at the time the Hoover Dam was built. The lamp was created out of materials used in the construction of the 155-mile, $900,000 power line to the Hoover Dam, and was presented to him by the Lincoln County Power District No. 1 on Sept. 25, 1937, for his assistance with the project.

Oh Dear!!

I'm afraid I don't like that characature of Agnes Moorehead at all...
She looks like an old crone and rather scary. If I'd known that the lady who lived down the street from me looked like that, I'd never have known her...
I hope she never saw that horrible thing....

Hi,

I wonder if Debbie Reynolds still sees or is in touch with Carleton Carpenter?

Larry, this is from 2012:

Carleton Carpenter was honored at this years Cinecon banquet with the Career Acheivement award. Carpenter was presented with his award by his "Two Weeks With Love" (1950) costar, Debbie Reynolds. The couple sang their hit song from the film, Aba Daba Honeymoon to a very appreciative audience.

I disagree -- I think it's adorable, and that she doesn't look old at all!
She may have seen it, as it was published in 1971. I think it would have given her a good chuckle.
I love (most) caricatures of AM.
