Carleton Carpenter

Carleton Carpenter

Carleton Carpenter (born July 10 1926 in Bennington, Vermont) was a movie, TV and stage actor, a magician, author and songwriter. Before signing to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Carpenter was a magician and an actor on Broadway. Then when he was signed to MGM, he usually paired with Debbie Reynolds in movies such as "Three Little Words" and "Two Weeks with Love".

However, despite many successful movies during this time, Carpenter is remembered in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s as a best-selling mystery novelist. One of his books, "Deadheads", was turned into a Broadway musical production. However, the play was short-lived.
