Caroline McWilliams before and after Benson:
Well main reason you hardly see her, she became a theatre/ stage musical director.

Plus some stage acting.

Doing quite well at it.

On film, she directed the comedy short: THE MAKING OF ‘N JUSTICE, and the documentary WE GO WAY BACK for PBS about women's long term relationships.

Los Angeles Theatre includes THE LADY CRIES MURDER with Sam Anderson, ON GOLDEN POND with Charles Durning, and SPECIAL OCCASIONS at The Pasadena Playhouse.

This photo is about a year old or so so she must have been 61.
Not sure if she ever had and plastic surgery...hard to tell.
But i think for a woman in her 60s she is still pretty.
