Career

Carol Connors began her adult entertainment career in the early 1970s, achieving fame in Deep Throat[1] in 1972 and The Erotic Adventures of Candy in 1978. In 1979, she had a notable appearance in Gail Palmer's Candy Goes to Hollywood. In 1981, she directed and starred in Desire for Men.

Connors also appeared on The Gong Show,[1][3] where she eventually became one of Chuck Barris's introducers. Her debut on the program, in 1977, was as a song-and-dance contestant. Said Connors, "I was awarded nine points by the two men judges and two points by Jaye P. Morgan, one for each ... bosom."[1] She was subsequently invited back for frequent appearances as one of the hostesses who introduced Barris at the start of the show.[1] Her Gong Show appearances were parodied in Candy Goes To Hollywood.
