Carleton Upham Carpenter, Jr. (born

July 10, 1926) is an American film, television and stage actor, magician,

songwriter, and novelist.  Carleton Carpenter began his

performing career as a magician and an actor on Broadway,

beginning with David Merrick's first production, Bright Boy,

in 1944, followed by co-starring appearances in Three to Make Ready with

Ray Bolger,

John Murray Anderson's Almanac

and Hotel Paradiso. He was a featured

player on the very early television program Campus Hoopla,

which was produced by NBC, via WNBT in New York City, and which aired from 1946-47. Carpenter was brought to Hollywood

in 1949 by independent producer Louis de Rochemont to play the boy friend in Lost

Boundaries. De Rochemont later cast him again, in The Whistle at Eaton Falls (1951). Carpenter

signed with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1950, where he made

eight films in three years: Father of the Bride, Three Little Words, Summer Stock,

Two Weeks With Love, Vengeance

Valley, Fearless Fagan (his only leading role), Sky Full of

Moon and Take the High Ground!. He gained fame

when teamed in 1950 with Debbie Reynolds in Three Little Words and Two Weeks with Love. In a guest sequence in

Three Little Words, they perform “I Wanna Be Loved by You” as vaudeville

players Dan Healy and Helen Kane,

with Reynolds dubbed by Kane. In Two Weeks with Love, where they have

featured roles, their duet "Aba Daba Honeymoon" was the first

soundtrack recording to become a top-of-the-chart gold record, reaching number

three on the Billboard charts. After 1953, he exited films for stage,

television and radio work. Among his television appearances, he played Gilbert

Burton, the recipient of $1,000,000 in a 1959 episode of The Millionaire and co-starred with Ann Sothern

in the 1954 TV production of Kurt Weill's Lady in the

Dark, which he also recorded for RCA Victor Records. In 1963, he played

defendant Peter Brent in the Perry Mason episode "The Case of

the Lover's Leap". He returned to film in 1959 for Up Periscope

for Warner Brothers and, much later, the

independent films Cauliflower Cupids (1970) and Some of My Best Friends Are...

(1971), as the character "Miss Untouchable". Later stage appearances

include Hello, Dolly!, opposite Mary Martin

(which toured Vietnam during the war and was filmed as a one-hour NBC-TV

special), The Boys in the Band, Dylan,

Crazy For You, and the City Center

revival of Kander and Ebb's 70, Girls, 70.

As of 2015, he still worked occasionally as a stage actor.[7]
