- Birth nameCarol Gatehouse
- Height5′ 6″ (1.68 m)
- Slender, blonde-haired blue-eyed British actress who, at the age of 26, replaced Lois Maxwell as the Bond franchise's "Miss Moneypenny" in The Living Daylights (1987) and put a slight twist on it by wearing glasses. After "Daylights" and Licence to Kill (1989), there was a gap between Bond films that ultimately cost Caroline the Moneypenny role, but she has managed to get roles in TV and film since then, even if not on as large a scale as the two Bond films she was in.

- She has been friends with her successor in the role of Miss Moneypenny, Samantha Bond, ever since they both were eleven years old. Casting director Debbie McWilliams was unaware of this when replacing Bliss with Bond. Not expecting to return after the departure of Timothy Dalton anyway, Caroline harbored no ill feelings towards her friend, saying: "I am just glad it has gone to someone I love and who needs the money!".
- In Licence to Kill (1989), the second of her two appearances as Miss Moneypenny, she did not share the screen with the James Bond character, which marks the only time it has happened in an installment in the EON James Bond franchise.
- Was 34 years younger than Lois Maxwell, her predecessor in the role of Miss Moneypenny.
- Only actress to play Moneypenny in the James Bond movies while wearing glasses.
- Co-starred with James Bond creator Ian Fleming's cousin Christopher Lee in 'Charles and Diana, a Royal Love Story'(1982).
