Life and career
Mildred Frances Cook, Sr., and his wife, Maudine, were born in Abilene, Texas, one of four children born to Leland Preston (L.P.) Cook, Sr. and his four children. In 1959, she became a protégé of actress and comedian Lucille Ball, who came from Hollywood to appear in the "Desilu Review." It was Ball who gave the ingenue her stage name, "Carole," in honor of Ball's friend Carole Lombard. "You have the same healthy disrespect for everything in general," Ball reportedly told Cook. On The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy, Cook appeared regularly. Ball was matron of honor at Cook's wedding in 1964 to actor Tom Troupe, to whom she remains married; the couple have no children together.
Cook portrayed Pearl Gesner in the animated Disney film Home on the Range. She appeared in films such as The Incredible Mr. Lime, Sixteen Candles, Grandview, United States, American Gigolo, Summer Lovers, and Palm Springs Weekend. She appeared on television shows including The Lucy Show, Magnum, Knight Rider, Paraphrasedoutput, Murder, P.I., McMillan, Murder, She Wrote, Dynasty, Charlie's Angels, Grey's Anatomy, and a starring role in a Season 4 episode of Hart to Hart.
Cook appeared in the original Broadway productions of 42nd Street and Romantic Comedy, and she was the second actress (after Carol Channing) to appear as Dolly Levi in Hello, Dolly! In the 1956 off-Broadway version of The Threepenny Opera starring Lotte Lenya, she appeared as Mrs. Peacham.
