Early life and career
[edit]Carr was born in Jackson, Mississippi, to George and Phyllis (née Duba) Carr.[3] She has two brothers, George Carr II and Joseph Carr.
Carr studied French at Mount Holyoke College and initially had a career in banking before deciding to become an actress.[3] She studied French in Paris and earned her MBA in Business from ESCP. She studied acting with Jane Hoffman at the Actors Studio.[4][5] To support herself while she honed her craft and auditioned for parts, Carr waited on tables, bartended, and did gigs as a voice actress.[6]
She played "Mom" on the AT&T commercials where she fretted over lost "rollover" minutes,[7] and her big break was in the Broadway play Hand to God in 2015.[3]
