Source: dougmacaulay.com

Art Baker was a film, television and radio actor for over four decades beginning in the 1930s. Baker’s tall, slim frame, snow white hair, smooth slightly nasal voice and a genial nature made him a natural for playing business tycoons, doctors, and senators in various movies. Through his career, he appeared in over forty films including Alfred Hitchcock’s Spellbound (1945), The Farmer’s Daughter (1947), Frank Capra’s State of the Union (1948), Any Number Can Play (1949) starring Clark Gable, and The Underworld Story (1950). Baker was best noted for his work on the television series You Asked For It which he hosted from December 1950 and January 1958.
