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:
“There is a difference between dramatizing your sensibility and your personality. The literary works which we think of as classics did the former. Much modern writing does the latter, and so has an affinity with, say, night-club acts in all their shoddy immediacy.”
—Paul Horgan (b. 1904)
“I can hardly bring myself to caution you against drinking, because I am persuaded that I am writing to a rational creature, a gentleman, and not to a swine. However, that you may not be insensibly drawn into that beastly custom of even sober drinking and sipping, as the sots call it, I advise you to be of no club whatsoever.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Good writing is a kind of skating which carries off the performer where he would not go, and is only right admirable when to all its beauty and speed a subserviency to the will, like that of walking, is added.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
