Carleton Carpenter worked alongside Judy Garland in "Summer Stock."
Born Carleton Upham Carpenter Jr. on July 10, 1926 in Bennington, Vt., Carpenter attended Bennington High School and served as a Seabee in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He attended the National High School Institute for Theatre Arts at Northwestern University and began his performance career as a clown and magician at carnivals.
In 1944, Carpenter moved to New York City and was quickly cast in David Merrick’s short-lived Broadway play "Bright Boy." His biography in the show’s program said he "got this part twenty-four hours after his arrival in New York."
