Carroll Baker

Daughter of a sales representative, Carroll Baker was 8 when her parents separated. After having studied in Pennsylvania then in Florida, she began in the world of show business as a dancer and assistant magician. She made a first - and brief - appearance on the screen in 1953 in Desire for Love, landed roles on Broadway, and appeared in commercials. Based in New York, she joined the Actor's Studio in 1954, where she was taught by Lee Strasberg. She fell in love with another student, Jack Garfein, who would become her second husband and the director of the famous school of comedy.

Refusing the great roles offered to her in the cinema, Carrol Baker, still unsure of herself, prefers to accept a secondary character, that of James Dean's girlfriend - whom she knew at the Actor's Studio - in Géant by George Stevens in 1956. She continues with the film that will make her famous: Baby Doll by Elia Kazan. She plays there a disturbing woman-child married to a cotton farmer who could be her father, in the wet South of the United States. This character written by Tennessee Williams, and for which Marilyn Monroe was approached, earned her in 1957 an Oscar nomination for Best Actress and a Golden Globe for Best Promising Actor, shared with Natalie Wood and Jayne Mansfield. The

The new Hollywood star shines in several westerns, such as The Great Outdoors by William Wyler or The Conquest of the West and The Cheyennes by John Ford. Partner of Roger Moore ("The Miracle"), Clark Gable (But not for me) or Robert Mitchum (The Adventurer of Kenya), she plays a movie star in 1964 in The Ambitious. After the thriller Sylvia, she slips into the skin of another blond sex symbol, Jean Harlow, in a biopic released in 1965. Separated from Jack Garfein (who made her play a raped woman in At the end of the night in 1961 ) and struggling to reconnect with the success of her debut, she moved to Europe at the end of the 60s. In Italy, she shot under the direction of the provocateur Marco Ferreri and followed the low budget genre films, often by Umberto Lenzi .

Back in the United States at the end of the 70s, she is the heroine of an independent comedy produced by Andy Warhol then of a horror film from Disney studios, Les Yeux de la Forêt, with Bette Davis. Without succeeding in relaunching her career, she finds some fine supporting roles, that of the mother of the playmate with tragic fate, Dorothy Stratten (Star 80 by Bob Fosse in 1983) or that of the wife abandoned by an alcoholic Jack Nicholson (Ironweed d 'Hector Babenco in 1987). If her rare appearances in the 90s were on the small screen, she faced Arnold Schwarzenegger in Kindergarten Cop (1990) and played housekeepers for Michael Douglas in David Fincher's The Game (1997).
