The Pleasure Seekers

Finally transferred my VHS copy of "The Pleasure Seekers" to DVD over the weekend. Carol shares screen time with Ann-Margaret and Pamela Tiffin in this 1965 film. They play three gorgeous bachelorettes rooming together in Madrid, Spain looking for a husband, and they all manage to get themselves in seemingly unhappy relationships. My favorite scene is when Carol is confronted by the jealous wife (Gene Tierney) of the guy she's dating (Brian Keith). Poor Carol gets a slap in the face! This movie just begs for a dvd release. It was filmed in Cinemascope and needs a widescreen presentation in order to throughly enjoy the magnificent scenery (Carol) and locations (Madrid). The copy I have is from a TV airing and the movie was modified to fit fullscreen. The only part of the movie in widescreen is the opening titles.

Carol's TV Appearances

The Love Boat (2-10-79) In a segment entitled, "Best of Friends," Carol and Donna Pescow play best friends. Donna introduces Carol to her new boyfriend played by Ben Murphy. Carol is horrified because Ben had propositioned her earlier that day! How will she break the news to Donna? Carol wears two bathing suits and disco dances! Ooh-la-la!
UPDATE (August 4, 2009): Carol's episode is included on the official DVD release, The Love Boat: Season Two, Volume 2

Charlie's Angels - "Island Angels": Carol guest-starred on this iconic TV series during it's fifth and final season in 1980. The Angels are hired to find an assassin among a group of swinging singles at a luxury Hawaiian resort.
Who can the killer be? Is it: Carol Lynley, Lyle Waggoner, Randolph Mantooth or Barbi Benton?
Carol looks great soaking wet in a bathing suit, BTW!


The Invaders - "The Believers"
Aired: December 5, 1967
David (Roy Thinnes) is subjected to hypnosis and elaborate ruses in an effort to learn the identities of his new allies. Elyse: Carol Lynley. Torin: Anthony Eisley. Scoville: Kent Smith. Harland: Donald Davis. Carol sports a new short 'do in this episode. Twiggy started this hairstyle and then Mia Farrow chopped off all her hair in "Rosemary's Baby." I prefer Carol with longer hair, but she looks great no matter what style.

Carol's Movies (Theatrical and Made-for-TV)

Once You Kiss a Stranger (1969)

The drunken golfer laughs and agrees to kill Diane's psychiatrist Dr. Haggis (Whit Bissell), believing Diane is kidding. She is dead serious...


"If It's A Man, Hang Up" is a slow-burning tale of voyeurism and obsession. The ravishing Carol Lynley stars as Suzy Martin, a stylish and beautiful model who receives a series of upsetting phone calls.
