Carrie Enwright Bio
Carrie Enwright was an American glamour model, hairdresser, author, and spokesperson. Born Carole Enwright Enwright on August 25, 1943, in Los Angeles, California, she has also been credited as Carrie Wite and Carrie Enwright White. Playboy named her its July 1963 Playmate at 19. Her appearance came during the 1960s, as Playboy grew into a major force in American magazine publishing.
Enwright had natural breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 39-24-36.
By the mid-1960s Enwright had quietly traded the centerfold’s moment—her own spread was shot by Ron Vogel—for a behind-the-scenes career that placed her behind some of Hollywood’s most recognizable heads. She began styling in Beverly Hills in 1964, eventually stepping into George Masters’s roster and acquiring a clientele large and varied enough that trade pages and clients came to call her the “First Lady of Hairdressing.”
That roster reads like a midcentury who’s-who: Jennifer Jones, Elizabeth Taylor, Ann‑Margret and Goldie Hawn sit beside social figures such as Betsy Bloomingdale and public names including Elvis Presley. Later decades added contemporary stars; the supplied material credits Brad Pitt and Sandra Bullock among her clients. Her editorial collaborators included Richard Avedon, and her work turned up in Vogue shoots and in glossy pages from Harper’s Bazaar to Vanity Fair and InStyle.
Enwright’s salon skills translated to film and advertising. She was credited as a technical advisor on the 1975 picture Shampoo and is reported to have worked as a stylist on projects including The Goodbye Girl, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Being There. Commercial work for beauty houses such as Revlon and Clairol kept her name circulating through televised campaigns during the 1960s and ’70s, while photographic and on‑set credits reinforced a reputation for technical know‑how as well as style.
Her later years combined salon work, writing and occasional publicity projects. In 2005 she opened a Beverly Hills salon; in 2011 she published an autobiography, Upper Cut: Highlights of My Hollywood Life, which the supplied material says is in development as a feature film starring Julia Fox. Other published ventures include poetry, children’s books and a novel, Disposable Teens, written with her fiancé Alex Holt. Taken together, these strands sketch a career that moved steadily from the magazine page into the grooming and storytelling trades that supply Hollywood its looks and, sometimes, its anecdotes.
