American actress and talent agent. While at a social function in Los Angeles in
1927, a director offered her a part in a film. She took it and began playing
minor parts. Carol's film career lasted from the late 1920s into the 1930s, and
when it ended she became a talent agent; one of her clients was Alan Ladd, to
whom she was married from 1942 until his death in 1964.

agency, the Sue Carol Agency. Among her discoveries was Julie London.
