Carroll attended Greensburg Salem High School and is said to have been a prominent and successful student, appearing in school musicals and being a part of other school clubs and activities. Having moved to St. Petersburg, Florida, Baker enrolled into St. Petersburg College, and her career in the entertainment field began at that time. She went on to become a magician’s assistant, and joined a dance company later on. Wishing to pursue her career furthermore, Carroll moved to Queens, New York City, although during that time she was struggling financially, even to keep her apartment. Baker decided to develop her acting skills furthermore, and enrolled into the Actors Studio where she established a friendship with actor James Dean, whom she would work with later on. Her first jobs were appearances in several commercials, going on to play a couple of small television and movie roles, which established her net worth.
Having made her big screen debut in ‘’Easy to Love’’ in 1953, Carroll caught the eye of the media and due to the positive critiques she received, eventually appeared in two Broadway plays in 1953 – “Escapade” and “All Summer Long”. After turning down several movie roles, Baker made her big breakthrough in ‘’Giant’’, a 1965 Western drama movie, portraying Luz Benedict II alongside James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson. In the same year, Baker got the role in ‘’Baby Doll’’, a dark comedy drama adapted from two Tennessee Williams’ one-act play; the role of a teenage bride married to the middle-aged owner of a cotton gin gained her a lot of recognition and critical praise in the acting industry, being her most notable part. However, the movie caused a lot of drama and received a backlash from Roman Catholic Church criticizing it for apparent lack of morals. Nonetheless, ‘’Baby Doll’’ achieved success in the box office, making $2.3 million in total, very significant at that time, and boosted her net worth.
In the following years, Carroll declined several movie roles which affected her partnership with Warner Bros. Being put under suspension, she wasn’t able to perform in several movies. When her suspension was over, she was cast in ‘’The Big Country’’ as Patricia Terrill, which received a mostly positive reaction, but wasn’t considered to be Baker’s finest work. One of her notable roles was her portrayal of Ellie Brown in a 1959 comedy film ‘’But Not for Me’’, with her acting skills critically praised and acknowledged by both critics and the audience. During mid-60s, Baker played a variety of notorious and problematic characters.

She subsequently wrote an autobiography entitled ‘’Babydoll: An Autobiography’’ in 1983.
Having returned to American movies and theatre, Baker played a wide range of characters – from naïve to bold and flamboyant ones, including Eleanor Crisp in ‘’Kindergarten Cop’’ in 1990, which was a huge success. In the following years, Baker played supporting roles in plenty movies, before eventually retiring in 2003.

Milla Jovovich Net Worth
Milla Natasha Jovovich was born on 17 December 1975, in Kiev, Ukraine (then in the USSR), and is a model, actress and singer, perhaps best known for her breakthrough role in the film “The Fifth Element” in 1997, with Bruce Willis and Gary Oldman.
So just how rich is Milla Jovovich, as of late 2017? Authoritative sources estimate that Milla has a net worth of over $45 million, accumulated from her various career elements spanning almost 30 years since she began modelling in 1987.
Milla Jovovich Net Worth $45 Million
Milla had a really unusual childhood, maybe that’s one of the reasons for her multi-million dollar net worth. Jovovich started her carrier in modeling from the early age of nine, a few years after she and her parents moved from Ukraine, which at that time belonged to the Soviet Union, to Los Angeles, California, in 1980. She even dropped out of school at the age of 12, when Gene Lemuel discovered her, and she signed a contract with Prima Modeling Agency. Milla Jovovich was covered by magazines including Vogue, Glamour, Madmoiselle, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, and has been advertising brands including L’oreal, Christian Dior, Calvin Klein, Donna Koran, Revlon for many years.
However, exclusive looks and beauty was not the only value she had: Milla Jovovich has a great voice, a talent to write songs, design fashion and find herself in acting as well. Milla started her acting career in 1988 in the film “Two Moon Junction”, but the roles that gave this girl much more attention were in “Dazed and Confused” in 1993 and “The Fifth Element” in 1997 directed by Luc Besson, in which she worked with Bruce Willis. Of course, subsequently all five films based on “Resident Evil” made Milla Jovovich’s popularity and net worth go through the roof. The original movie was so successful that it was even turned into a video game.
Between her acting in those two movies, Milla tried the shoes of a singer and a song writer, and released her debut album – “The Divine Comedy – which was really appreciated by the audience and critics and even received positive feedback from Rolling Stone magazine’s, John McAlley; in his opinion the album was remarkable. In 1999 Milla Jovovich became a member of the band named Plastic Has Memory, and performed some gigs in New York and Las Vegas, but unfortunately not with her new band, and Milla has never released a second album.
As for her career in fashion, Milla launched her first line in 2003, and her brand was successful until 2008 when she decided to close her business because of lack of time, which is perhaps no surprise, assuming that all of her free time was taken-up by her daughter Ever Gabo Anderson, who was born in 2007.
As for other details of Milla’s personal life, aside from several well-known relationships, she has married three times, all husbands met when taking some part in films in which she was acting. She first married Shawn Andrews in 1992, which was apparently quickly annulled by her mother; ironically, he and Milla were starring in “Dazed and Confused”! The second was with the director of “The Fifth Element” – Luc Besson (1997-99), and she has been married to Paul W. S. Anderson, who worked with Jovovich on the set of “Resident Evil”, since 2009, and he is the father of her two daughters. The family is based in Los Angeles.
Milla is something of a philanthropist too, and often participates in and supports various charities including UNICEF, World Education, Ovarian Cancer Research Fund and many more.
