 |
| An Oil of Olay advertisement personified, Carol has proven to all of the haters over her illustrious career that a woman can not only age with grace, but also become even more desirable with time. |
 |
| Once dubbed by Life magazine as "The Face," Carol is a living legend in the fashion world. A true pioneer in her field, she rose to stardom before the term "supermodel" even existed, but helped introduce it into our vernacular along with Cheryl Tiegs and Christie Brinkley. |

Carol Alt was born December 1, 1960, in Long Island, New York, as the third of four children to parents Anthony and Muriel. Her father was in the military and served as a New York City fire chief and her mother also worked as a model at one time.
Carol was discovered waiting tables during her freshman year at Hofstra University, where she embarked on an academic path that she hoped would lead to law school. Soon after she was scouted, Carol dropped out of school, moved to Manhattan and signed with the famed Elite Agency, where she became one of the most successful fashion models of all-time.
Her celebrity enabled her to pursue other projects on the side, such as two exercise videos, launched during the height in popularity of the genre. Carol Alt also appeared in the first Sports Illustrated Swimsuit video. In addition, she was a coveted corporate pitchwoman for a diverse range of products from companies such as Cover Girl, Hanes, Virginia Slims, and others.
Carol has also amassed an impressive collection of calendars and posters over her career, all of which were bestsellers. In recent years, the model has concentrated more on acting than on any other endeavor. She has appeared in more than 45 films in Europe alone, the majority of which have been created and released in Italy. |
