Biography
Carol was born in 1960 in New York. Her mother was a model, and after retiring, she went to work for an airline. Dad was the head of the fire department. In the family tree of the Alts, Germanic, Belgian and Irish branches are intertwined.
Carol's childhood was the same as that of an ordinary American girl, in the company of her sister and brother. When it came time to go to college, she decided to make her own money for her education and decided to work as a model for a bit.
The first magazine to evaluate the young girl's data was Harper's Bazaar, the Italian version. Carol made a vivid impression with her work, and within one year she was invited to Vogue, and she also became the face of Lancôme.
After that, there were many successful projects, but the most eventful year was 1982, when Alt's photo appeared on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Cosmetic firms began vying to invite her to present their products. And when the shooting of the cult film "Portfolio" was conceived, Carol was invited to the shooting along with Polina Porizkova, Steven Meisel, Andy Warhol and other prominent representatives of the fashion world. In the same year, she became the face of the CoverGirl cosmetic line.
Movie
However, Carol wanted to develop further, and she decided to start an acting career and try herself as a TV presenter. In 1985 she was given such an opportunity - she was included in Johnny Carson's show "Tonight".
And after a short time, she was already filming the film "Rue Montenapoleone", for the role in which she received the Italian Telegatto Prize.
Since then, Alt has had to work on two fronts: she participates in photo shoots for magazines and acts in films. Thanks to her role in the film "My First Forty Years" (1986), she received the title of actress of the year - it was a resounding success. Along with the filming, Carol participated in an advertising project for Virginia Slims and filmed video tutorials for Cosmopolitan magazine.

For example, the Amaretto company specially for Alt organized the shooting of its liqueurs with names, which included the model's surname: Amaretto di Alt. Such a variety and richness of events became possible only thanks to Carol's hard work and talent.
In the 90s, the model was waiting for new contracts with Hanes and shooting in new films: "The Godmother 2", "Body Parts" and "Thunder in Paradise". It is perhaps difficult to describe everything that was done by the model during this period: she released her own line of sunglasses, participated in shows, starred in films and wrote a book on the raw food diet.
And surprisingly, at forty-six, Travelgirl magazine named her one of the best models of the century: she was ranked fifth among the most gorgeous women.
