Biography

Born Carole Ann Jones in New York City, Lynley began her career as a child model under the name "Carolyn Lee", and when she started acting (after appearing on the cover of Life magazine at 15^[1][2]), she discovered that another actress had already registered the name, so she modified it to the homophone "Carol Lynley".^{[citation needed]}

Early on, Lynley distinguished herself in both the Broadway stage and Hollywood screen versions of the controversial drama Blue Denim (1959), in which the teenage characters played by Lynley and co-star Brandon De Wilde had to deal with an unwanted pregnancy.^[3]

In 1959, Lynley was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for "Most Promising Newcomer – Female".^[4]

Lynley appeared in the fourth season Man from U.N.C.L.E. two-part episode, "The Prince of Darkness Affair".^[5]

Lynley is known for her roles in Hound-Dog Man, Return to Peyton Place, Under the Yum Yum Tree, Bunny Lake is Missing, Harlow, the original version of The Poseidon Adventure, and the pilot television movie for Fantasy Island. She appeared on the NBC interview program Here's Hollywood (1961).^[6]

Although especially well-known for her performance as a singer in The Poseidon Adventure, her singing voice was, in fact, that of studio singer Renée Armand.^[7]

Lynley posed nude for the March 1965 edition of Playboy magazine.^[8][9]
