On the personal level, Sue went through a couple of marriages before retiring from the screen to head her own talent agency, the Sue Carol Agency. It was through the agency that she met, managed, and married Alan Ladd in 1942. With Ladd she had a daughter and a son, the successful and still active actor and producer David Ladd, and remained married to Ladd until his death in 1964.
Sue Carol has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1639 N. Vine Street. She died in 1982.

Pretty rather than a knockout, but those pajamas are TDF as they say on the fashion blogs -- "To Die For."
What a cool blog, I love it! Thanks for letting me know about it...
Yup - those PJ's were the main reason I purchased the card - so fashion forward :-)
I would say that because she isn't a knockout, she has more "It" than many a knockout. My opinion of course, but I get sick of looking at Loretta Young and prefer Joan Crawford photos, who had a less obvious beauty...this woman is interesting; she really looks like that dog in the photo and that isn't a bad thing!
The first 3 pics - she is pretty..and the PJ's are the knockout. But in the 4th pic. the guy obviously sees her Allure!
What's with that head-piece? Designers can be a tad strange.
Frank O'Hara wrote a poem 'To the Film Industry in Crisis' in which he says:
'Sue Caroll as she sits for eternity on the damaged fender of a car and smiles,'
Could this refer to this Sue Carol, and could anyone guess at which film it might have been?
