Bob Barry’s Unearthed Interviews Podcast: Carroll Baker
On today’s podcast you’ll hear from a Hollywood icon and a woman who’s been carried off the set, after a Clark Gable kiss. She was very young when she saw “Gone With the Wind,” and fell in love with Gable. She said he was an old man then, but she was head over heals in love with him, even though she was married. Carroll Baker was the star of “Baby Doll” and “Giant,” and turned down the role in “Rebel Without a Cause” because she disliked the script. She and James Dean were a pair of snobby method actors on the set of “Giant,” until Liz Taylor swooped in and stole the spotlight.
