Carole MacGillvray Rappeport[1] was an employee of the General Mills Toy Group. As early as 1978, she was associate vice-president of Hasbro's toy marketing unit;[2] in the early 1980s, she served as vice-president of U.S. marketing at General Mills' CPG (Consumer Products Group) division.[4] In February 1984, she became president of General Mills' M.A.D. (Marketing and Design) service, replacing Bernard Loomis.[5][6] In the mid-1990s, she ran a toy consulting company in Santa Barbara, California.[3]
MacGillvray was a boss to fellow General Mills/Kenner staffer Paul Pressler.[1] Both were executive producers for 1985's The Care Bears Movie, produced by Canada's Nelvana studio.[7] Before its completion, MacGillvray's search for a distributor led to rejections from major U.S. studios; The Samuel Goldwyn Company, an independent outfit, eventually acquired the film for U.S. release.[8][9]
