Walt Disney saw her photo and article, and decided to cast her in his 1958 release The Light in the Forest (1958). It was Carol's debut (she received "and introducing" credit in the opening title), but it was also her swan song for Disney's studio. Opposite James MacArthur, a Broadway actor, both gave convincing performances, receiving mixed critical reaction, mostly because of the entrenched polarized "pro" and "anti" Disney factions. ...
