Expo 67. By DOPIS KLEIN | HOLLYWOOD (AP)--Can you} create a movie sex symbol? Credit Carroll Baker with an awesome try. For three years, the slender blind, who first won fame as the thumb-sucking nymphet of Baby Doll, has campaigned re- lentlessly to establish herself as a siren in the tradition of Jean Harlow, Rita' Hayworth and Marilyn Monroe. Carroll's campaign continues, but an analysis of results to date indicates the verdict is likely to be: Sex symbols are born, not created. "I've tried just acting,' she admits, 'but sex sells at the box office." Film reviewers have failed to be electrified by Carroll's re- cent screen portrayals. Review- ing her role as a prostitute in Sylvia, one critic called Carroll, "a torrid vamp who is about as! voluptuous as Stan Laurel." UNHAPPY CHILDHOOD Born 34 years ago in Johns-| town, Pa., she had, like many future stars, an unhappy child- jhood to spur her dreams. She found unhappiness at 20 fein, a young director who later became her husband (they now are the parents of a son and daughter). He rec ommended her to the Actor's Studio, where she was picked by Elia Kazan to play the crib-bound temp- tress in Baby Doll. She appeared in a series of big-name films: As Elizabeth Taylor's daughter in Giant; with Clark Gable in But Not For Me, and with Gregory Peck in The Big Country.

The Carpetbaggers made mil- lions at the box office, despite generally bad reviews. Then Levine paid $100,000 for a biography of Jean Harlow and announced it would be the next film vehicle for his new sex symbol.
