Carlotta (born 2 September 1943) is the stage name of Carol Spencer, a transgender Australian cabaret performer and television personality.
She began her career as an original cast member of the long-running Sydney-based male revue Les Girls (pronounced lay-girls) cabaret show, which had an international following (including being attended by numerous celebrities) and started in 1962 in Sydney's Kings Cross.
Carlotta performed spot-numbers as a singer and comedian, and eventually became the show's compere and lead attraction.
Her appearance in Number 96 (TV series) is the first time a transgender actress played a transgender TV character anywhere in the world.
In 2018 she revealed she had bladder cancer, but it was discovered early after going to her doctor for a urinary tract infection.
In 2018, a bronze sculpture was dedicated to her honour in Kings Cross, where she also has a star on the pavement
