She moved to New York in the early 1940's to pursue a career in Radio. She had a lucrative career as a radio actress, but left NY to return home to take care of her mother. In the mid 1950's she appeared in several I Love Lucy episodes and countless TV shows as a character actress. In the mid 1960's, Charlotte left acting and entered the corporate world.

From the late 1970's to 1992, Charlotte oversaw the music clearance and licensing for Lorimar's television shows (The Waltons, Dallas, Knots Landing, Falcon Crest, Full House, Perfect Strangers and Hogan's Family), plus countless MOW's and mini-series, as well as Lorimar Motion Pictures.
