Carole Cook, known for performances in “Sixteen Candles” and “The Incredible Mr. Limpet,” has died.
Carole Cook at the inaugural Robert Osborne Celebration of Classic Film event at Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills on Oct. 7, 2019. She was 98.
Born Mildred Frances Cook on Jan. 14, 1924, in Abilene, Texas, she got her big break in show business when Hollywood icon Lucille Ball became a mentor, helping her transition from a stage career to on-screen performances.In 1959, Ball invited Cook into her actor collective, The Desilu Workshop, and she was the one who convinced the woman named Mildred to become Carole — chosen in honor of Carole Lombard.
The"I Love Lucy" actor and producer even served as matron of honor at Cook's 1964 wedding Troupe, a fellow actor., Cook shared a piece of advice Ball gave her that helped her navigate stardom. “In this business, you meet everyone from the lowest to the highest and I take from everyone I meet on this journey. And, if you’re smart, you take the good things. Be very selective.”Taking “the good things” led Cook to craft a resume filled with an eclectic and memorable mix of dramatic, comedic and musical performances over the course of more than 60 years in the entertainment industry.
