Lawrence was born Carolina Maria Laraia on September 5, 1932, in Melrose Park, Illinois. Her parents were of Italian ancestry, her father being born in Trivigno, in the province of Potenza, and her maternal family coming from the same town. Laraia graduated from Proviso Township High School, in Maywood, Illinois. She spent one year at Northwestern University and then left to pursue her career.
Lawrence made her Broadway debut as a Ted Adair Dancer in the 1951 revue Borscht Capades, alongside Joel Grey. She achieved success in the role of Maria in the original Broadway production of West Side Story in 1957, receiving a nomination for the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical (even though the part was the lead), losing to Barbara Cook (The Music Man). She played the role for two years, and after an appearance in the short-lived show Saratoga in 1959 she returned to West Side Story for its 1960 season. Other Broadway successes were Subways Are for Sleeping, I Do! I Do! (replacement "She/Agnes", 1967), and Kiss of the Spider Woman (1992–93, replacement Spider Woman/Aurora). Her most recent Broadway credit is serving as standby for Lauren Bacall in the 1999 production of Noël Coward's Waiting in the Wings.
