sultry carroll


ahhh, the breathtaking miss carroll baker, ladies and gentlemen. as i've said before, probably my favorite hollywood blonde. its hard to find good pictures of her. i know there have to be like, tons of them out there. for a while she was pretty famous... i'm sure there had to be some steamy press photos taken for 'babydoll' and 'harlow,' still... they're very hard to find. i've had this one for so long i can't begin to remember where i found it. she looks great, though... even better once i tricked the colors and contrast a bit. so unapologetically sexy. i read her autobiography, and from what i remember, she never had much of a problem with the whole sex symbol thing. in fact, i think it was pretty well established that she left the US and went abroad in the late 60's and early 70's in order to be free to, well... 'smut' it up a bit. and groovy for the rest of us. on YouTube, you can order up several clips of her in italian productions. she's the best. i love carroll.
