Carroll Baker "Paranoia"
Trivia
Mother of
Blanche Baker and Herschel Garfein.
Though it may only be studio hype, in 1964 an African Masai chieftain was so fascinated by Baker that he offered 150 cows, 200 goats and sheep, and $750 for her while she was on location in Kenya for
Mister Moses.
Her trouble with Warner Bros. continued when she declined to act in a series of movies based on books by pulp writer
Erskine Caldwell. This lead to her losing out on outside offers to do
The Three Faces of Eve for 20th Century-Fox, and both
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and
The Brothers Karamazov for MGM.
When she refused to play a nymphomaniac in the trashy
Too Much, Too Soon, Warner Bros. refused to loan her out to appear opposite
Laurence Olivier,
Burt Lancaster and
Kirk Douglas in
The Devil's Disciple.
While in Hollywood to test for
Giant, director
Nicholas Ray met with her on
James Dean's suggestion to discuss playing the
Natalie Wood role in
Rebel Without a Cause. Baker's new husband
Jack Garfein insisted that she return to New York once the test was shot, and negotiations were broken off.
