at one time

At Cannes Film Festival, May, 1965. 1:56 Interview begins in English. Hard to believe she just turned 90!

Clicked her headshot expecting to see a "RIP" thread. Glad to be wrong!

still alive

Yes, and I never understood why. I think her fame was based on Baby Doll and perhaps I was too young to appreciate it, or even understand it, at the time - and I've not seen it since.

I first saw it on TCM about a year or two ago.

Did you like it, or think it a good film?
I remember Carroll Baker in news paper articles and chat shows when I was a kid and as I said above, just not getting it. The only film I can easily remember her in is The Big Country, which I always liked but her role in it was nothing special.
