	Actors - Carmen Duncan

Carmen Joan Duncan (born July 7, 1942 in Cooma, New South Wales) is an Australian actress. Carmen's younger sister is actor Paula Duncan.

Carmen Duncan is known to Australian audiences as a character actress in films and on television. Australian television roles included several episodes of the Australian series Hunter (1967) and she appeared for several months in evening soap opera Number 96 playing Helen Sheridan in 1973. She later had an on-going role in Skyways, and guest starred in several episodes of A Country Practice as Rowena Elliott.

She later emigrated to the United States where she acted on television. From October 1988 to September 1994 she was the second actress to play Iris Cory Carrington Wheeler on daytime soap opera Another World. She succeeded Beverlee McKinsey in the role after a long absence.

Many of Duncan's critics noted that she looked much younger than her stepmother on the show, Rachel Cory (played by Victoria Wyndham). When Rachel married Iris's father Mac in the 1970s, the main drama stemmed from the fact that Iris was the same age as Rachel. With the age dynamic ostensibly changed, television critics and fans alike found Duncan to be jarring in the role. In real life, however, the actress was three years older than Victoria Wyndham. In addition her accent in the role did not sound authentically American, making her seem further out of place.

In 2003, she appeared as 'Anna' on CrashBurn.

In 2004, Duncan filled in for Eileen Fulton as Lisa Miller Grimaldi in eight episodes of As the World Turns while Fulton was on emergency medical leave.
