Actress Carole Cook showed a knack for comic timing from early on, so much so that the legendary 露西尔·鲍尔 took her on as a protégée. Cook would make many appearances on Ball's TV shows The Lucy Show (1962) and Here's Lucy (1968), as well as other shows like Magnum, P.I. (1980), Dynasty (1981), and 实习医生格蕾 第一季 (2005). She would also appear in several movies, like 十六支蜡烛 (1984) and 超人总动员 (2004), while maintaining an active stage career and supporting many AIDS charities.
Her brother Leland Cook and his sons were in the vending machine business in Corsicana, Texas. They built a planetarium at Navarro College in Corsicana. Leland once worked in management of The Corsicana Daily Sun, the newspaper in Corsicana.
Fondly known as "the Lunts of L.A. Theater", she and actor/husband 汤姆·特鲁普 received a joint honorary 2002 Los Angeles Ovation Award for Career Achievements. They have co-starred in many plays together over the years, including "The Lion in Winter", "Father's Day", and "Patio/Porch".
For over three decades Carole has been heavily involved in the fight against AIDS by performing diligently at S.T.A.G.E. benefits.
She was a close friend and protégé of 露西尔·鲍尔, and lived in Ball's home early in her career. Ball was the matron of honor at Cook's 1964 wedding. Ball is credited for suggesting Cook change her stage name from Mildred Frances to Carole, in honor of Ball's close friend 卡洛·朗白.
Singer/comedienne and a cabaret favorite in New York and Los Angeles, with scores of musical comedy shows to her credit, Mame and Hello Dolly! among them.
Her nephew Byron Cook serves in the Texas State House of Representatives.
Most recently guest-starred on 实习医生格蕾 第一季 (2005). [March 2006]
