Carole Mathews (September 13, 1920 – November 6, 2014) was an American actress of film and television. Her longest running role was as the 37-year-old widow Wilma Fansler in the second season from 1958 to 1959 on the NBC western television series, ''The Californians''. ==Background== Born Jean Deifel in Montgomery, near Chicago, Illinois, Mathews went to live with a grandmother after her mother divorced her father. She attended Roman Catholic schools and after graduation from high school entered a nunnery. She was named "Miss Chicago" in 1938 and soon left the nunnery. Instead, she joined the Earl Carroll Follies and hosted a WGN radio program, ''Breakfast Time with Carole Mathews.'' Soon she was engaging in modeling.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Carole Mathews )〕 In 1942, she conducted a screen test for Samuel Goldwyn of MGM Studios. That same night, she married radio writer John Arthur Stockton in Tijuana, Mexico, the scion of a wealthy Chicago family. Goldwyn immediately canceled her contract. In late January 1944, she had the marriage annulled, and she never remarried though she was associated with several other men, including a considerably younger Don Durant, two years before he was cast in his own CBS western series, ''Johnny Ringo'', according to a report from Walter Winchell.〔 In November 1958, Dick Meyers, her then fiancé, announced that he hoped within two years to salvage the sunken Italian liner, the ''SS Andrea Doria''. From 1971 to 1986, Mathews operated a travel agency in Sherman Oaks in the San Fernando Valley of California. In March 1977, Mathews took over the Hidden Valley Ranch in nearby Reseda, California, where she raised pygmy goats, rabbits, chickens, Muscovy ducks, and worms. She also produced audio/visual travelogues and television dramas. In 1982, she was cited for her success in raising miniature horses.〔 Mathews died on November 6, 2014, aged 94.〔http://www.sagaftra.org/files/sag-aftra_spring2015_public.pdf〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carole Mathews」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
