Biography

Margaret Carson was born in Salt Lake City in 1911, and lived in Ohio from approximately 1920-1939. Carson majored in political science at the University of Toledo, and received a master's degree in social administration from Ohio State University. Carson's publicity work began in Ohio for the Toledo Community Chest during the years 1937-1938. She married Charles Carson, a reporter and editor in Cleveland, with whom she had a son, also named Charles. They divorced, and she found work in New York City with Constance Hope Associates, the leading public relations firm in the city. In the early 1940s she created the Margaret Carson Agency, where one of her clients was the opera star Gladys Swarthout. Carson was the press representative for the Metropolitan Opera from 1944-1954. After a year off, in 1956 she handled press for her friend Margaret Truman's wedding to Clifton Daniel. Carson's major clients over the years included Leonard Bernstein, Barry Tuckwell, Michael Tilson Thomas and the New World Symphony, Benny Goodman, Neville Marriner, Mitch Miller, the Metropolitan Opera, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, the Pacific Music Festival and the New England Conservatory of Music, among many others.
