Carol Higgins Clark Biography & Facts
Carol Higgins Clark (July 28, 1956 – June 12, 2023) was an American mystery author and actress. She was the daughter of suspense writer Mary Higgins Clark, with whom she co-authored several Christmas novels, and the former sister-in-law of author Mary Jane Clark. Writing career Born in New York City and raised in Washington Township, Bergen County, New Jersey, Clark attended Immaculate Heart Academy. She received her B.A. from Mount Holyoke College. During college, she began re-typing her mother's transcripts. She also made contributions such as renaming locations and characters. She was the only one of the five Clark siblings to become a writer. One thing that influenced this decision was helping her mother. While Mary Higgins Clark attempted juggling a full-time job and trying to finish her second book, the younger Higgins Clark grasped this opportunity to familiarize herself with the process of writing a book and telling tales, not knowing this would be her start in becoming a well-known author. Just as her mother did, Clark wrote suspense books. One difference in the mother and daughter's writings is that Clark's books contain a slight sense of humor that her mother's do not possess. All of her novels feature Regan Reilly (a famous recurring character), plot points about male escorts, and pantyhose conventions that come from real sources. In her video for NJN Public Television, Clark explains how she used her first job experience to help her with ideas about her book. In her book Iced, she uses a woman who is working at a dry cleaners. The woman uncovers evidence found in the pockets of a customer. Acting Clark chose acting as her profession and began to study acting after graduating from Mount Holyoke College. In 1975, she starred in "Who Killed Amy Lang", which aired on Good Morning America. She also performed in Wendy Wasserstein's play "Uncommon Women". She played the lead in the film A Cry In The Night, based on a novel by her mother. Personal life and death In 2001, Clark appeared as a contestant on the game show To Tell The Truth; three of the panelists correctly identified her. Clark's New York apartment building, The Belaire, was hit by a small plane on October 11, 2006 flown by New York Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle. Her 38th floor condominium was just a floor below the main impact zone; she was not at home during the accident. On June 12, 2023, Clark died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles of appendix cancer at the age of 66. Bibliography Regan Reilly series Clark, Carol Higgins (1992). Decked.
