1940 Carole starred in the prehistoric adventure One Million B.C. She had the leading role of Loana, a beautiful cave girl who falls in love with a caveman
from another tribe. This was the first film she made for producer Hal Roach. He said he hired her because she looked best running in the skimpy costume.
The cast includes Victor Mature (as Loana's love interest), Lon Chaney Jr, Conrad Nagel, John Hubbard, and Jean Porter. She and Jean Porter shared a dressing room on the set and became close friends. Since Carole plays a cave girl she does not speak one line of dialogue in the entire movie! One Million B.C. was filmed in California and Nevada from November 1939 until early 1940.
