Carol Wayne 09/06/1942 - 01/13/1985

  

Carol Wayne was an American television and film actress. She is best known for her many appearances on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson as the Matinée Lady.
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Wayne began her show business career as a teenage figure skater in the Ice Capades along with her younger sister Nina Wayne. The Wayne Sisters later became showgirls of the Folies Bergère at the Tropicana Resort Casino in Las Vegas. Wayne followed Nina to Hollywood in the mid 1960s and the sisters began appearing in TV shows of the era.

Wayne did TV guest shots on I Spy, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Love American Style, Emergency! and The Fall Guy.

 In 1984, Wayne appeared in a nude pictorial for Playboy magazine. That same year, she filed for bankruptcy.

 Wayne was married three times. Her second husband was rock and roll photographer Barry Feinstein (the father of her only son, Alex), and her third husband was television/film producer Burt Sugarman, who served as producer on Celebrity Sweepstakes.

 In January 1985, Wayne and her companion Edward Durston were vacationing at the Las Hadas Resort in Manzanillo, Colima, Mexico. After an argument with Durston, Wayne reportedly left to take a walk on the beach. Wayne's body was found three days later by a local fisherman.

 After the discovery of Wayne's body, authorities discovered that Durston had checked out of the resort the day the couple argued, leaving Wayne's luggage at the airport.

 An autopsy performed in Mexico later revealed no signs of drugs or alcohol in Wayne's system.

 Carol Wayne was cremated; the location of her ashes are unknown.
