Carol Ohmart Biography

Making her film bow in 1955's The Scarlet Hour, actress Carol Ohmart was heavily touted as Paramount's answer to Marilyn Monroe. Unfortunately, Ohmart never quite attained Monroe's stature, though she turned in credible performances in such programmers as House on Haunted Hill. She left films in 1960 to study metaphysics, briefly resurfacing in 1964 in the camp horror classic Spider Baby. After a long absence, Carol Ohmart made her final film appearance in The Spectre of Edgar Allen Poe (1972). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
