According to 1930's actress
Kay Hughes, her early credits in several short pictures are often confused with those of Carol's. Kay claims that she never did any of the shorts she is given credit for, including those for The Three Stooges and Andy Clyde. Carol was using the marquee name of "Kay Hughes" at the time and it was she who was featured in those shorts. Because "Kay Hughes" wasn't Carol's real name, they had Carol change her stage name to "Carol Hughes.".
