Diane Baker, American film actress, and sex symbol, is name-checked on the cover of "[[Freak Out!]]" (1966) under the heading "These People Have Contributed Materially In Many Ways To Make Our Music What It Is. Please Do Not Hold It Against Them". Her well-scrubbed, all-American beauty has frequently been employed as a cool veneer for film characters of smoldering passions.

At age 18, Baker was one of hundreds of entrants (and eventually one of the six finalists) in the prestigious annual [[Rheingold Beer contest]], in the [[Beverly Hills Hotel]], [[Los Angeles]]; one of the judges for the contest was [[Ida Lupino]] (FZ's favorite actress). Baker - daughter of actress [[Dorothy Harrington]] - despite having been born and raised in [[Hollywood]], studied acting in New York with [[Charles Conrad]], and ballet with [[Nina Fonaroff]]. She continued her training in Los Angeles at the [[Estelle Harman Workshop]], and quickly secured a contract with [[Twentieth Century Fox]].

Baker was tapped for her first film role as Millie Perkins' sister (Margot) in 20th Century-Fox's "[[The Diary of Anne Frank]]" (1959, directed by [[George Stevens Sr.]]); [[Otto Frank]] was moved to tears over how very much Diane resembled his daughter. 20th Century-Fox then cast Diane as [[Pat Boone]]'s "girl back home", who didn't get to go along on Boone's "[[Journey to the Center of the Earth]]" (1959). Her most famous screen assignment was at [[Columbia]], where she portrayed axe murderess [[Joan Crawford]]'s supposedly well-balanced daughter in "[[Straitjacket]]" (1963); a year later she contributed to "[[Marnie]]", directed by [[Alfred Hitchcock]].

In 1966 she appeared in episode # 8.23 of "[[Bonanza]]", called "A Woman in the House". Baker became a documentary director in the 1970s with the self-financed "[[Ashanya]]" (which dealt with the end of feudalism in India), and a producer with "Second Star to the Right", a.k.a. "[[Never Never Land]]" (1982). The best of Diane Baker's latter-day roles was the media-savvy politico mother of the kidnap victim in "[[Silence of the Lambs]]" (1991, Jonathan Demme); she also appeared in the follow-up [[Hannibal]] (2001).
