Carroll Baker "the face of sin" became famous, in 1956, by sucking the thumb in baby Doll, of Elia Kazan; she played the role of a childish and stubborn woman there, that of Karl Malden, and he freed from his character an erotism such as the film excited the wraths of censure, what contributed of course to its success. The picture of vulgar, blonde, badly treated and sensual girl whom Carroll Baker had imposed in baby Doll had to remain during all its career. It is in the films of low quality that it is most in its ease: she plays a role in Jean Harlow in Ambitious (The Carpetbaggers), of Dmytryk, and she represents Harlow in person in the film which is dedicated to this star.
She was certainly seen in productions of more great value (Giant, the Big Areas, Cheyennes), but it can be said that these films confirm contrario has the vocation of Canoll Baker: as they are not vulgar, he is not pointed out there. Since 1967, she especially worked in Italy; she even made a rather good film, the Harem, conducted by Marco Ferreri there, which can take advantage of vulgarity. Others are not worth to be named, except a rather amusing policeman, who has a squint on the side of the Diabolic and is called Deborah's Pretty Body. CARROLL was born Karolina Piekarsk May 28th, 1931 in Johnstown (Pennsylvania).

" The Ambitious" (Carpetbaggers) and "Harlow", who made again speak about her but fixed once and for all the picture of an easy and vulgar girl. Carroll Baker did not fear aggravating this picture by posing naked for Play Boy and for other more or less specialised magazines. In 1977, she accomplished a kind of apotheosis of the junk film in Andy Warhol s Bad (Bad), strange black comedy that a critic could qualify as «the most disgusting show that it is possible to imagine". She will pose for Playboy.
She played a rather good role in Something Wild, of Jack Garfein (her husband): she played an a bit disturbed girl who tries to commit suicide and whom Ralph Meeker saves at the last minute; and she was nice in seductress of men frustrated in Station six Sahara (the Fair-haired woman of the station 6).
