Carole Demas (born 26 May 1940, Brooklyn, New York) is a legendary American actress and singer, best known for originating the role of "Sandy" in the 1971 Broadway musical Grease originating the Title Role in The Baker's Wife (musical), for dozens of prime time television roles, 100s of commercials and for her role in the long-running children's television show The Magic Garden. The winding path of Carole’s career, highlighted in Schirmer, Citadel and Applause Books chronicling the trials and triumphs of Broadway, has taken her from her early days as Miss Vermont in The Miss Universe Contest, to major roles from coast to coast. Her cabaret and concert performances have brought funds and attention to many worthy causes.
Carole studied drama at the University of Vermont. She and her childhood friend, Paula Janis, produced and developed a local children's show, The Magic Garden (1972), in the seventies. The show ran for 12 years and 52 episodes. Carole also played in the original cast of Grease (1978) as Sandy.
