Was a British comedy actress.she was a child performer and wrote, produced, directed and starred in her own shows for many years. Famous for her catchphrase: "She knows you know" which stemmed from her music hall days, Baker is probably best known for her role in the ITV television series Nearest and Dearest (1968-1972). Her character Nellie Pledge (co-owner of a Lancashire pickle factory, Pledge's Purer Pickles), was ideally suited to her talents and she was cast opposite the comedian Jimmy Jewel. The two actors notoriously hated each other and repeatedly tried to stitch each other up in the often one-take shooting. This included corpsing and trampling over each other's laughs. Between shoots they would only speak to each other through a third party, even though they sat only feet away. A theatrical version appeared in 1972 (produced by Hammer Films), followed by a near sequel Not On Your Nellie (1973-1975), in which she played a similar character (Nellie Pickersgill) who moved from Bolton to London to take charge of her ailing father's pub. Both of Baker's "Nellie" characters were renowned for their malapropisms, which were used to great comic effect.
