Joyce Audrey Botterill


 Joyce Audrey Botterill, known as Judy Carne (April 27, 1939 – September 3, 2015)

Carne was born in Northampton, England. She received training at the Pitt-Draffen Academy of Dance, before being accepted into the prestigious Bush-Davis Theatrical School for Girls in East Grinstead near London. An instructor at the school began calling her "Judy", telling her that Joyce was not a good professional name. The second part of Judy's stage name was taken from a character named Sarat Carn in the play Bonaventure by English playwright Charlotte Hastings. She made her first British television appearances on the series Danger Man (1961) and episodes of The Rag Trade (also 1961), a BBC sitcom. She moved to the US not long afterward. Her first regular role was in the sitcom Fair Exchange (1963). She later co-starred with Pete Duel in Love on a Rooftop (1966). She made several appearances on the adventure series The Man from U.N.C.L.E. On Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In (1968–1970) Carne gained stardom. Her most popular routine ended with her saying "Sock it to me!", at which point she was doused with water or assaulted in some other way. Carne was married to actor Burt Reynolds from 1963 to 1965 and to producer Robert Bergmann from 1970 to 1971. Both marriages ended in divorce, and she had no children. In 1978, after being found not guilty of possessing heroin, she was involved in a car accident along with her second husband; she recovered from a broken neck. Her drug problem continued and she was later arrested again for heroin possession. Carne moved back to Northamptonshire, England, in the 1980s, living quietly in the village of Pitsford. Carne died from pneumonia at age 76 on September 3, 2015.
