    She was a truly great actress. She deserved a couple of Oscars before the one she finally got.

      It historically worked out that way now and then: A deserving actor would be passed up because it was someone else's "turn" according to Hollywood politics and then awarded later because it was "owed" them.

      That's how it often works. A new talent thrills the Academy voters. Meanwhile, Richard Burton, Judy Garland, Peter O'Toole? "What's the rush - they'll be around for a long time! We can give them an honorary award - if they live long enough!"

    Her performance in "Double Indemnity" with Fred MacMurray and Edward G. Robinson was truly iconic. It's one of the few movies that I never tire from re-watching.

    Jesus, I was bawling by the end of this! Interesting to compare different bio-productions about her & see the not so subtle differences in the many tales about her life. An impressive woman she was. Smart. Hardworking, resilient and clearly a class act no matter what roles she played.

    There's something I can't quite put my finger on, that resonates for me with Barbara Stanwick. But, I do know it has to do with her True Self, her spirit, he Soul.
    She did it "Her Way".

    Never realized how much Aaron Spelling resembled Jonathan Frid . I was expecting to hear about Barbara Stanwyck doing an episode of Dark Shadows. These people are before my time, but I love the syndicated re runs of Big Valley, and Spelling's 1970s made for TV Horror movies like Satan's School For Girls, Crowhaven Farm etc. Never knew about Barbara Stanwyck's pre Big Valley career, pretty interesting. I hate most new movies I hope to locate some of these really early films

    Her early life was really, really rough. In and out of questionable foster homes and orphanages after her mother’s death and her father’s abandonment. She tragically had a botched abortion at the age of 12 that made her incapable of ever having children… no wonder she was hard and tough as steel
