Born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, by an American father and a Canadian mother, Caroline is fluent in French and English. She moved to New York in 1989 to study stand-up comedy at the New School for Social Research. She says her true training came from her first gigs at the comedy club Catch A Rising Star. Performing around New York City, she quickly gained a reputation, and a name in the city's competitive comedy scene. These performances were augmented with appearances on MTV's Half-Hour Comedy Hour, Comic Strip Live and Caroline's Comedy Hour.

She then decided to move on to Los Angeles for a career in Hollywood, debuting in NBC television series Pride and Joy co-starring with Jeremy Piven. She likely gained most fame for her role as "Aunt Hilda" on the ABC and The WB's Sabrina, The Teenage Witch, as well as being a regular on the most recent incarnation of Hollywood Squares, with Tom Bergeron and Whoopi Goldberg (in the center square).
