Cast in a wide range of roles during her heyday in the 1960s, Baker was especially memorable playing brash, flamboyant women, thanks to her beautiful features, striking blonde hair, and distinctive Southern drawl. Her star turn came in Elia Kazan's controversial Baby Doll (1956), for which she received an Oscar nomination and Golden Globe. |
