Carroll Baker quotes
When Clark Gable kissed me, they had to carry me off the set.
Carroll Baker
After 'Baby Doll,' I did some Westerns. I would try to do something so far away from 'Baby Doll.'
Carroll Baker
Joe Levine behaved like he owned me. My husband thought it was all terrific as long as I kept bringing in the money. I started objecting to everything, but it was too late. The sex-symbol image had already started. I turned down parts and they blacklisted me. The press attacked me viciously at every opportunity. I came very close to suicide.
Carroll Baker
Life seems to be a never-ending series of survivals, doesn't it?
Carroll Baker
As I understand it, George Peppard later became a nice guy, a gentleman, but when we worked together back then, he was pretentious, egotistical, a brat, and an asshole-and that's just for starters! He pretended he was seven years younger than he was; he even claimed to be a bachelor and denied he was married-in front of me (I knew better), he denied their existence. The role of Jonas Cord in The Carpetbaggers really went to his big head. He acquired delusions of grandeur-thought he was God's gift to women and the movies! His attitude towards me was very bizarre-he acted as though we'd never met! Or that I had a husband!
Carroll Baker
Bad directors are the ones who want to tell you every move, and think they're a better actor than you.
Carroll Baker
I was very young when I saw 'Gone With the Wind,' but I fell in love with Clark Gable. And when I got to work with him, I couldn't believe it. I still had a crush on him. He was quite an old man by then; he must have seen that I was head over heels, even though I was married.
