Carole Cook – 99

Since 1956, Carole Cook has been a huge force in musical theatre, cinema, and television. She initially worked with actress and comedian Lucille Ball as her protégé, and had frequent roles in Ball’s shows. Ball is said to have given Cook her stage name “Carole” to pay homage to Carole Lombard, Ball’s dear friends who died in 1942. Cook’s real name is Mildred! These days, she has taken time off from acting. Her most recent acting role was in the 2018 film Still Waiting in the Wings.
