Carla (Deborah Lacey) is a black woman who has worked as housekeeper for the Draper household since Sally's birth. Carla is shown to be the true maternal influence in Sally and Bobby's lives and is seen watching the children for extended periods of time, such as when Betty goes to Nevada to get a "Reno divorce" from Don. Carla continues to work for Betty after Betty divorces Don and marries Henry Francis, until Betty fires her for allowing Glen Bishop to visit Sally. Carla later telephones Henry because Betty did not give her a written reference for her job search.
