Even today when somebody tells me
I'm good-looking, I have a hard time
believing it."
At her father's insistence, Carroll en
rolled in a typing course at high school,
but her heart wasn't in it. Nor did she
relish the idea of taking an unskilled
job after graduation. Eventually she
joined her mother in Florida, and en
rolled in a junior college there.
During the six years mother and
daughter had been separated, they had
heard from each other only about half-a-dozen
times. Yet Carroll convinced
herself that, deep down, her mother
still loved her. When she left junior
college after one semester, she blamed .
it on the dullness of the courses rather
than on any personal reasons. .
For a while Carroll concentrated on
dancing, then became a lady magi
cian, touring the vaudeville circuit. She
came to Hollywood for a brief part in
an Esther Williams movie and eventually
reached New York and television com
mercials. She also gave the nightly
weather report until she lost her cue
cards one night and, in an attempt to
improvise the forecast, announced:
"There's a lot of hot air.blowing in from
Texas.", This ended her career as a
weather commentator.
Fortunately, residuals from TV com
mercials provided money for room and
board while she was at Actors Studio.
There Elia Kazan discovered her and,
after she played a featured role in
George Stevens' "Giant," cast her in
"Baby Doll," which made her a star.
Stevens denies another piece of Holly
wood gossip about Carroll that she's
unduly influenced by her husband,
director Jack Garfein. "True, she and
Jack usually talked over her scene if he
was on the set For that matter, I dis
cussed many scenes with him myself.
But he no more told Carroll what to do
than he did me."
Yet there's little doubt that Jack has
had a strong influence, which isn't sur
prising when one knows his background.
Born 29 years ago in Czechoslovakia,
he spent years at Belsen concentration
camp and saw both his parents killed
in gas chambers. He himself was so
- emaciated that he weighed 48 pounds
when he was released at the age of 15.
He has suffered as few people his age
have, and this, in Carroll's eyes, gives
them a basis for mutual understanding.
His patience and concern have made
him both husband and father to her.
Obstinate as she may be with anyone
else, she lets Jack have the last word
in what concerns them both. Yet Car
roll will strike back if anyone else
threatens her personal domain.
When she moved to California with
her two children, Blanche, 2Vi, and
Herschel, 1V4, she hired a nurse to look
after the youngsters while she was at
work. When the nurse refused to raise
the children according to Carroll's spe
cific instructions, she was fired. 1
won't say that I was always right and
she was always wrong, but if there are
any mistakes made, I want to be the
one to make them. I want the full re
sponsibility for what is mine.
Thus, in a way, Carroll herself best
explains Carroll Baker.
