It's shocking that Diane Lane is still alive!
How is someone who starred in all of those old movies still alive? Her contemporaries, like Hope Lange, are all dead.
Baker says that she almost got the part of Maria in West Side Story, but Natalie Wood decided to take the part after initially turning it down.

OP, if you were attempting a joke, you're wasting your time.
If you were being serious, you're wasting mine.

Hope Lange, Yvette Mimeux and Carol Lynley have died, but Baker and Paula Prentiss live on.

I don't know what Diane Lane has to do with it.
But Diane Baker's face looks as if she's been stung by a nest of hornets.

I meant Diane BAKER, not Lane.

Several years ago, someone on DL posted a dishy interview with an anonymous older actress who spilled a lot of tea about working in movies and TV during the 1950-80s. Given the clues, it was decided that it had to be Diane Baker. She seemed very bitter about her time in Hollywood.

I do love Diane Lane. Great underrated actress.
I never registered Diane Baker. One of the endless parade of bland 60s starlets….

I remember that, R9! Great thread.

Diane and Joan Crawford must have really liked each other, because they worked together on three movies. Wasn't there speculation that they were lovers at one time?

Think of the years when she was married to Cary Grant near the end of his life!

Baker, unlike most, has only kind things to say about Joan Crawford
