Writing
In 1983, Baker wrote an autobiography titled Baby Doll: An Autobiography detailing her life and career as an actress, as well as revealing her issues with Warner Bros. Pictures after turning down roles in several films, leading to her move to Europe and career in Italian films in the 1970s. The book was well-received. She later wrote two other books: To Africa with Love, detailing her time spent in Africa, and a novel titled A Roman Tale.

Famous quotes containing the word writing:
“In the learned journal, in the influential newspaper, I discern no form; only some irresponsible shadow; oftener some monied corporation, or some dangler, who hopes, in the mask and robes of his paragraph, to pass for somebody. But through every clause and part of speech of the right book I meet the eyes of the most determined men; his force and terror inundate every word: the commas and dashes are alive; so that the writing is athletic and nimble,—can go far and live long.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“‘Tis hard to say, if greater want of skill
Appear in writing or in judging ill;”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“All the critics who could not make their reputations by discovering you are hoping to make them by predicting hopefully your approaching impotence, failure and general drying up of natural juices. Not a one will wish you luck or hope that you will keep on writing unless you have political affiliations in which case these will rally around and speak of you and Homer, Balzac, Zola and Link Steffens.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
