Anna Rose Baker (July 23, 1930 – March 2, 2017) was an American actress, known for her appearance in classic films and television shows during the 1950s.

Early years

Born Anna Rose Baker,[1] Baker was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Baker, one of 11 children.[2] She was graduated from Smith-Cotton High School in Sedalia in 1948.[3]

Career

While she was a high school student, Baker worked as a model for Mademoiselle, Junior Bazaar, Thomassetti Shoes, and M. K. T. Railroad.[1] Moving to California increased her opportunities for modeling, and by July 1954, her image had been seen on "100 or more magazine covers, billboards and the like".[4]

Baker appeared in eight films and television programs between 1947 and 1959. Her film appearances include Men of the Fighting Lady (1954 - uncredited), playing Mary, and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers[5] (1954 - uncredited), as a town girl.

Her television credits included Meet Corliss Archer (1954), playing the title character;[6] Crossroads (1955), as Gloria Vaughn; Queen for a Day (1956); Casey Jones (1957), as Jeannie; Man with a Camera (1959), playing Bunny Hansen; and The Millionaire (1959), as Shirley. Her acting career ended in 1959.

By 1957, Baker felt that she was "caught in a teen-age trap" caused by her youthful appearance.[7] Although she was married and in her 20s, people still viewed her as teenaged Corliss Archer. "My looks are against me for the more mature roles," she said.[7]

Personal life

Baker married Earl Long,[8] who worked in construction. She kept the marriage secret from her studio for a year.[9] Baker died on March 2, 2017, at the age of 86.[10]
