Synopsis
What ever happened to Carroll Baker? Plenty! And it's all here in the true story that rivals her most notorious roles. Born in 1931, she is an American film, stage, and television actress. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Baker's range of roles from naive ingénues to brash and flamboyant women established her as both a serious dramatic actress and a blonde bombshell. While performing on Broadway in 1954, she was discovered by director Elia Kazan who cast her as the lead in Tennessee Williams's Baby Doll (1956). Her role in the film as a sexually-repressed Southern bride lent Baker overnight notoriety and earned her BAFTA and Academy Award nominations for Best Actress, as well as a Golden Globe award for Most Promising Newcomer that year. From overnight stardom in BABY DOLL, through public scandal, critical acclaim, and private despair, Carroll Baker emerges triumphant. From Actors Studio to Hollywood and Vine, on location, at home in two disastrous marriages, through emotional and financial crack-up to hard-won recovery, here is Carroll Baker - woman, actress, star - as you've never seen before. With lacerating honesty, Carroll describes her relationships with Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean, Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, Elia Kazan, Tennessee Williams, and others
