Career
Born Joyce Audrey Botterill in Northampton, Northamptonshire, England, the daughter of a London fruit merchant, Carne made British television appearances in series including Danger Man (1961). She moved to the United States in the early 1960s. Her first regular role was in the sitcom Fair Exchange, in which she played an English teenager who goes to the U.S. to live with an American family whose daughter (played by Lynn Loring) has gone to live in England. That was followed by The Baileys of Balboa (1964) and then she had an assisting role to Pete Duel in Love on a Rooftop (1966). She made appearances in the TV show The Man from U.N.C.L.E.. She had a small part in the ninth episode of the 1965 TV series Gidget, guest-starred as Floy in second season episode 3, "Then Came The Mighty Hunter" of 12 O'Clock High (1965), and appeared in an episode of I Dream of Jeannie. She also appeared in the Bonanza episode "A Question of Strength" (1963) as Sister Mary Kathleen and The Americanization of Emily (1964) plus two episodes of "The Big Valley" (1967.)
On Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In (1968–73) Carne gained stardom. Her most popular routine ended with her saying "Sock it to me!", at which point she was doused with water or in some other way assaulted. Carne was on the series for the first two seasons (1968–69) but made occasional appearances during the 1969-70 season.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
“He was at a starting point which makes many a man’s career a fine subject for betting, if there were any gentlemen given to that amusement who could appreciate the complicated probabilities of an arduous purpose, with all the possible thwartings and furtherings of circumstance, all the niceties of inward balance, by which a man swings and makes his point or else is carried headlong.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
