biography

Born Carolyn Baker in Amarillo, Texas on April 28, 1929, glamorous Carolyn Jones had a difficult life before finding fame in films and television. Abandoned by her father during the depths of the Depression, Jones was a sickly child who was raised by her grandparents. From an early age she harbored a great desire to be an actress; soon after graduating from high school, Jones made her way to Hollywood and studied at the Pasadena Playhouse. After toiling in small stage productions for a few years, she was spotted by a talent scout and soon signed with Paramount. However, after a few small roles in such films as Road to Bali and Off Limits (both 1953), Paramount declined her option. However, after leaving Paramount Jones landed a breakthrough role as Vincent Price's victim-turned-wax-figure Cathy Gray in the Warner Bros. release House of Wax (1953). This role paved the way for supporting roles in A pictures and starring roles in the B's. The same year Jones married future producer Aaron Spelling, who was then a struggling actor. Jones and Spelling parted company in 1964.

later years

Following the cancellation of The Addams Family in 1966, Carolyn Jones' career began to slide. With few film roles in sight, Jones made a number of television appearances, including a memorable turn on Batman as Marsha, Queen of Diamonds. She also went back to stage work, acting in The Homecoming on Broadway for a period in 1967. She remarried the following year, this time to director Herbert Green; during this marriage Jones worked very little, taking on occasional roles in films and television. However, the marriage didn't last. Upon her divorce in the mid 1970s, she went back to work with a vengeance, acting in the horror film Eaten Alive (1977; with Neville Brand and Mel Ferrer) and in several made-for-television films and miniseries. She was diagnosed with colon cancer in 1980, and although she went through chemotherapy, the cancer came back around the time that she was cast in the CBS daytime drama Capitol. Nonetheless, Jones stayed with the role and even remarried. Sadly, she passed away on August 3, 1983 at the age of 54. Jones was survived by her third husband.
