- Has a Masters Degree in Theatre Arts from San Diego State University.
- Was the oldest of six children.
- Did not consider herself as an 'Indian actress' until casting directors rejected her at auditions because she looked "too ethnic" or "too dark" for non-Indian parts.
- Carr was born to William Raymond and Helen Marie Brown as one-half Cherokee and one-half French.
- In 1975 she was teaching at the Jay Silverheels's drama school in San Fernando Valley.
- Indians never were schooled in drama. If we want good actors we must begin by training the young; so I teach kids, 18 and under. For a while we had a busload of students from 12 to 16 coming in weekly from the Sherman Institute, but that stopped when the Institute ran out of money to pay the driver.
- We were poor, but so was everybody else, so I didn't think about that.
