This period of her life involved touring the Nevada ‘Silver Circuit’ with The Garfin Gathering, honing her performance skills before transitioning to acting.

The series, which aired from 1975 to 1979 across ABC and CBS, propelled Carter into the spotlight and continues to be her most recognized role. After the series concluded, Carter continued to expand her artistic pursuits, venturing into music with the album “Portrait” in the late 1970s and headlining several musical television specials.
Throughout the subsequent decades, Carter maintained a consistent presence in film and television, including roles in “Super Troopers” (2001), “Sky High” (2005) as Principal Powers, and a cameo in “Wonder Woman 1984” (2020) as Asteria. She also extended her work into voice acting for video games like “The Elder Scrolls” series and “Fallout 4” (2015).
