Something Wild , 1961, Creative Commons, public domain In 1964, I was 10 years old, and I thought Carroll Baker was the naughtiest woman I had ever seen. I don't know why the parental units decided to take me the drive-in theatre to see The Carpetbaggers , but I sat in the back of the station wagon eating popcorn and wondering what it was all about. I didn't understand why I was so drawn to Alan Ladd and George Peppard , but I knew what Baker as Rina Marlowe was up to when she was scantily clad on top of a chandelier or rolling around on a bed telling Peppard to '… love me, Jonas, love me! '.
