Biography

Alison Carroll was born in Croydon, Surrey in England.

She trained at the Urdang Academy in Musical Theatre and graduated in 2007 with a Distinction.[citation needed] She has represented Great Britain as a professional display gymnast, and has performed in front of Prince Charles.[4] She was also a children's gymnastics coach, choreographing the winning junior team at the British National Championships.[4][5]

Since 2007 she has been a registered actress.[6]

In August 2008 she was announced as the new Lara Croft model for the latest game, Tomb Raider: Underworld. At the time, she was working as a receptionist at a golf club.[3] Carroll replaced Karima Adebibe, who retired from the role earlier in the year.
