:27:01
a kind of imagination,
and he was a very hard-working actor.
:27:06
He figured things out.
He worked with his little rope.
:27:09
He worked at his wardrobe.
:27:12
I don't think it ever crossed Dad's mind...
:27:16
that Jimmy Dean
wasn't the right person for that part.
:27:19
I think he gave kind of
a great edge and excitement...
:27:24
to the film in the way he played it.
:27:27
Carroll Baker is a very unique lady now.
:27:30
She was a very unique young lady then...
:27:34
when we made Giant.
:27:36
When I first showed up
on the Warner Brothers lot...
:27:40
first of all, I came from New York.
:27:43
It was going to be my first film.
:27:46
Warner Brothers was going to
put me under contract.
:27:50
They sent me a ticket, they put me up
in a hotel on Hollywood Boulevard.
:27:55
I arrived at the gate, and I gave my name...
:27:58
and the guard wouldn't let me in.
He'd never heard of me.
:28:03
There I saw, a few minutes later...
:28:05
Jimmy Dean come up on his motorcycle.
:28:08
Interesting,
because I guess a lot of people...
:28:11
are on motorcycles these days,
but it was kind of...
:28:14
a big, exciting thing for someone
to be on a motorcycle then.
:28:19
He put me on the back
and drove me around the lot.
:28:22
Showed me the lot.
:28:24
Mr. Stevens used to say
I was sort of the hostess...
:28:27
and the heart and soul.
In his autograph to me in my book...
:28:31
he said,
"You're the heart and soul of Giant."
:28:33
He never wanted me to leave very much.
:28:36
He always wanted me to stay around
on the set, even when I wasn't working.
:28:40
So I felt I was very helpful to Earl...
:28:43
when he first came in on the picture.
:28:45
I got a call from my agent.
:28:47
I had done a movie called Broken Lance
with Spencer Tracy, playing his son.
:28:52
George Stevens was looking for...
:28:55
Iocations where they could shoot Giant.
:28:58
They were running Broken Lance
to look at Nogales, New Mexico.
