Biography
CAROL RANCE
Played by Kathleen Rose Perkins

The perennial second-in-command at the network has the unenviable task of propping up whoever her boss is at the moment. She also makes the terrible mistake of sleeping with them. All of them. But despite this self-destructive tendency, she is actually decent at her job, and there is a human being buried inside her Hollywood exterior. She becomes a much-needed friend and confidant to Beverly, and Beverly in turn tries valiantly to keep Carol focused on work and self-respect.
