My mother became a Pediatrics nurse in the early fifties. She moved to Los Angeles for her first job. One day a small woman came into the hospital, a scarf around her head and dark glasses on, and asked for several orderlies to assist her in getting "a few things" out of her car for the children. She came in with hundreds of toys, crayons, coloring books, puzzles, games, candy, and other treats, and proceeded to spend the entire afternoon playing with all the children and reading to them. No entourage, no film crew, no publicity agents...Just Barbara Stanwyck on her own. My mother had been a fan of hers, but now became a huge fan of Barbara Stanwyck, the person. For the fews months my mother stayed in Los Angeles, Miss Stanwyck came on several occasions, always in the same quiet unassuming way, with toys galore, and seemingly with all the time in the world to spend with the children. Whenever we would see Barbara Stanwyck on the TV in later years, my mother always recounted this story with a mixture of awe and respect. A great actress and a lovely human being.
What a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing, she really is someone I look up to especially when her life was not easy and had a lot of hardships. She had every right to be the most bitter woman ever with what she endured but she was the complete opposite. Amazing that she turned out the way she did, a very loving, one of a kind human being! Just love her. People just aren’t like her anymore. It’s very rare.
A beautiful testimony that does honor to this great actress!
HOW AMAZING TO HAVE MET A DOWN TO EARTH LEGEND AND FANTASTIC MEMORIES
THANKYOU FOR SHARING XXXXXXX❤❤❤❤❤
BECKY 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
She was one of a kind and never made a fuss. She is greatly missed.
She likely doted on children because she was unable to have any of her own.
Barbara Stanwyck was called the Swiss Army knife among her peers: she could- and did- embody any genre, beit comedy, romance, drama, Westerns, Film Noir. Anything. Barbara Stanwyck was also a humble and benevolent soul. The camera captured her ineffable spark, her energy and fierce intelligence. Ms Stanwyck, we salute you.
The most deserving recipient of this most prestigious award. She was the BEST!
Totally Agree!!!!!
@@scottmiller6495 Just read her life story. Tough life. The whiners of today
@@floatsting20 Her and Lucille Ball two incredible icons that this world will never see again Ever Period!!!!!
She deserved this accolade, for perseverance alone - the ‘most’ deserved? Of course not! She wasn’t known as the poor man’s Bette Davis for nothing - she was.
One of the best actors ever. She lived her life with such humility, kindness, laughter and loyalty. No one compares.
I can't explain why Barbara Stanwyck is my favorite actress, above Davis, Crawford and Hepburn, but I know what I like. Her ability with comedy and melodrama and westerns and even musicals is extraordinary. She got better looking at she aged and here, she is gorgeous.
She has been my favorite actress since 1960 when I was 13.
\
I love that the camera cuts away to catch Jimmy Stewart smiling when she's talking about Capra.
Me 2!
Barbara Stanwyck is a great example of how talent and mastery of craft have so little to do with an Oscar.
She never received an Oscar because in order to avoid being typecasted she didn't sign with a studio. Stanwyck could play ditzy just as well as she could play intelligent and good just as well as she could play evil.
To win an Oscar simply tweet the right things and include pronouns in your bio.
People are obsessed with who wins those dumb awards. The Oscars are politically driven rubbish. So many of the recipients over the years have been a joke compared to some of the "losers" who lost to them yet were easily more worthy winners.
Yeah, sure Alec Guiness was a terrible actor.
Same with the Nobel Prize for Peace and Literature.
I was at this event and it was one of the most amazing nights of my life to see all these great people capped by the appearance of the great and legendary Barbara Stanwyck who was my godmother. She truly was an amazing lady and influenced me and my life in more ways than I can name. 21 years later, I still miss her very much. God Bless only the 3rd woman to receive this prestigious award. She was one of a kind.
There is a movie where she plays an evangelist; I have never seen her better. She was the best American film actress, period!
Amazing!!
What an amazing acceptance speech from one of the greatest entertainers of all time Period!!!!!
what a beautiful woman who became even lovelier in age. Gracious,dignified and humble.Happy Birthday Barbara Stanwyck
A great actress. A great lady. Class, humility and strength like few others.
She gave so much. NO one today is in her league, What a star!
Ladies & gentlemen, this is what grace, humility and class looks like! Miss Stanwyck was one of the greats from an era that can never be duplicated!! She made some great movies, but for me, her role as Victoria Barkley on The Big Valley was my favorite. Too bad they don't make em like this anymore!
+MsJourneyfan i agree!
MsJourneyfan I agree with you.
I agree she was just 'swell' in every way. When she did her last though, in The Thornbirds, a filthy, nasty, horror of a human being, I knew she'd given the last of a really great performance in her career, it was just amazing.
MsJourneyfan beautiful
For me, it will always be Stella Dallas-- how can one not cry while watching that film
Wow! She still looked absolutely gorgeous! What a classy broad!
Wow! What class and talent that woman had! I'm in tears now because her humble speech brought back so many memories and her closing prayer was so genuine. I loved Barbara Stanwyck in everything she did especially The Big Valley, Stella Dallas, Sorry, Wrong Number and The Thorn Birds. Just her last scene alone in the wonderful mini-series The Thorn Birds would establish her as a major, unforgettable actress. Miss Stanwyck won a well-deserved Emmy for that role as well as Emmys for The Barbara Stanwyck Show and The Big Valley. And at least The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had the sense to present her with a special Oscar before it was too late. One of my favorites of all time, I would love to have worked with her!
A really tough call that year for Emmy voters.
Ann Margret blew my socks off with her powerhouse acting for "Who Will Love My Children" as a terminal cancer patient fighting time to find someone to look after her children before she dies.
The miniseries did not have the pomp and circumstance of Thorn Birds.
If I had to choose, I'd pick Ann Margret that year over Barbara.
Again, a really tough call for Emmy voters.
I think Stanwyck's standing in Hollywood swayed voters in the end.
That voice never changed :) and that head of hair, simply lovely!
She is one of my favorite actress, I can't believe that she never won an Oscars, pure class and so talented! .
Simply a true LEGEND as an actress and as a lady, as she remembers the people who helped her along the path of her career. A truly great human being who has in the past entertained millions and will continue to entertain millions into the future. RIP Miss Stanwyck
She was excellent in "Sorry Wrong Number". If you haven't seen that film I strongly recommend you do.
What wasn't she excellent in? Even when the material wasn't so great, Missy rose above it.
Wow, you answered fast. If you ever want to discuss Stanwyck or any other film icon, here I am. I loved "Sorry Wrong Number" too. Stanwyck believed she was cheated out of an Oscar for that, as well as for "Stella Dallas."
@@akrenwinkle My favorite actress.
A great actress, a wonderful human being, a star from beginning to end and, to tell it plainly, a woman of intelligence, elegant and simple. One of the best, truest acceptance speeches ever.
''she was a part of an amazing era in film industry..., where it can never be duplicated..'
One of the most beautiful and talented women to ever exist. My dream woman O-o
beauty, brains, unparalleled talent. simply the BEST actress Hollywood has ever known.
I'm inclined to agree! Love her!
@@windstorm1000talented but not beautiful
@@sshowgirl933 beauty is only skin deep. In my eyes she was beautiful. This is what is wrong with the world today.
A one of a kind person. How much we miss you....
She was a true Hollywood legend. Pure class in every respect. RIP.
A classy and eloquent lady. My favorite movie of hers is Christmas in Connecticutt. I bought dvd a few years ago. A happy pick me up movie.
America was fortunate to have such great talent.she definitely got your attention in all her movies.a very special woman on and off the stage.R I P Barbra Stanwyck..❤
What a Lady!!! Bless her!
Miss. stanwyck was my life long crush, what an exquisite beautiful woman, it's my dream and hope when I pass away that I meet her in heaven and spend eternity with that awesome woman..she is very missed..lua , Barbara..
There are no actresses like her anymore...
Yes, she's amazing in "The Thorn Birds" and her final scene (the one you referred to) is heartbreaking and mesmerizing and so much more. She won an Emmy for that role, deservedly so.
And I believe it was when she won the Emmy for The Thornbirds she immediately said that the award belonged to Ann-Margret for the TV movie she did I believe entitled "Who Will Love My Children". They were both excellent.
The most gifted and versitile actress Hollywood has ever seen. She was sensational.
I think I’ve seen just about all of Barbara’s movies. Never get tired of her. She was a classy beautiful smart tough broad.
My very favorite female actress who stands side by side with my favorite actor John Wayne.
Top notch, class act, beautiful through and through, what a gem we are missing these days, thank God for film preservationist to keep all these great actors, actresses, and films for everyone to fall in love with, they didn't need a part two or nine lol..... Honest talent and greatness stand the test of time.... Be kind, be humble, Take care everyone and God bless.....
One of the best actresses ever! Pure talent, strenght and beauty.
I love her in every film she made but "Double Indemnity" I think it's her best performance.....best femme fatale I've ever seen!
Stella Dallas was her best performance.
It really is hard to choose : her four Oscar nominations I would rank as 1. SWN 2. DI 3. SD and 4. Ball of Fire; but to me who grew up in the sixties , my favorite is always her portrayal of Victoria Barkley
Barbara Stanwyck! A great lady! A legend! One of the greatest!
As Screenwriter, BABYFACE!!! I can't believe the quality of writing & plot so Long ago...still in Shock...a Masterpiece...
An Amazingly beautiful woman with unbelievable Talents that you'll Never Ever See Again Ever Period!!!!!
Doesn't she look incredible? This woman wasn't only a fabulous actor, but a national treasure. Anyone who's seen her films and been entertained and moved by them knows
they've seen the best thing about the American film industry. I thank the Big Guy upstairs for giving us your films to admire, enjoy, and remember. RIP, lovely lady.
Stanwyck always "delivered" to we viewers. Never a disappointment to her many fans.
One of the funniest of all time.
The Lady Eve is catastrophic. Insane film.
Yet touching, warm, uncanny.
And weird! Great, great movie!
In a league of her own. The G.O.A.T. Her ‘era’ was way before my time. But her talent transcends all eras and all ages. Absolute legend - love ALL her movies simply because she grabs your attention in whatever role she is playing, and you don’t want to stop watching. Not to mention she was stunningly beautiful.
what a class act. she was absolutely amazing.
I miss this classy, elegant, tough, and gracious Dame!
Miss Barbara Stanwyck...What a lovely, classy lady... exceptional actress and person. Thank you for posting.
I have always admired Miss Stanwyck. She truly was one of Hollywood's greats . A well deserved award for a very talented and classy lady .
This is such 'class', one tough broad to the end, loyal to the max...
hehe at Billy Wilder teaching her to kill, assume she is referring to her role in Double Indemnity with Fred MacMurray and Edward G Robinson, an amazing film
My all time favorite actress. I hope you are shining in heaven, Miss Barbara Stanwyck!
there are men in Hollywood who have those unmistakable voices ,,THIS woman has one ,,her role as Mrs. Barkley shows her to be a powerful leading lady style and grace combined !!
Precious lady I loved ❤️ 😇 helping others, I love helping other too 😇
WOW! I just tapped out my thanks for the complete list of this ladies doing-deeds!
Here she is once more being thankful to those that helped her SHE is a NUMBER 1!
I just received your 'tip' about the movie. Many thanks! She was, as you imply, one of the most beautiful and compelling actresses. I recall her in "The Thornbirds"(?) and her scene "Kiss me. Kiss me on my lips." after the young priest had escorted her to her room for the night. What a sad film that was! Again thanks from Canada.
Wonderful acknowledgement of our Creator at the end, with a simple statement of humility - and far more sincere than those who "thank God" oh so flippantly for their Peoples Choice Award. Miss Stanwyck is from a long ago generation where values like faith, loyalty and hard work were embraced and rewarded. I miss her dearly.
A truly wonderful woman and actress. How I miss the likes of her and her other great colleagues! Hepburn, Davis, Crawford, Dunne, Rogers, Colbert, Sullavan, Young. Cannot stop watching her films and marveling at her artistry. She makes everything look so simple! And what a lovely acceptance speech! Direct, honest, simple, totally from the heart.
BALL OF FIRE! That's what she was. I love and adore her.
An actress who could play any part: comedy; drama; westerns; mystery and suspense, you name. Very classy of her to give credit to the great director Frank Capra. Capra and Stanwyck made some beautiful films together and he was really the director you gave her the big breaks in her film career, as she graciously acknowledged in her speech.
As all of those in that audience and those who left comments on this page agree, I join their group. Never a more natural actress and that in the days when for the most part they were emoting all over the place. She's the best! (Along with Ingrid Bergman and Jean Arthur...)
Barbara, great actress, a godess of a film screen, an incredible woman!!
Barbara Stanwyck was an Outstanding Actress and she has left a legacy of wonderful artistic work behind,4 us 2 continously enjoy 4 many years 2 come.
We go from this award show to what we have today.
A truly stunning, incomparable actress. How lucky we were to witness her talent.
I have loved her acting over the years gone beauty
No one is or was a better Actress then Barbara. Stanwyck.
Rah! One who has earned the absolute right to be awarded this most coveted achievement award. She is magnificent. A brilliant performer. My mother, God rest her soul, was a great admirer of the legendary Barbara Stanwyck.
She one of the greatest loved her on big valley and roustabout
We the people that seen her act were so lucky she was the best and I bet in real life as well! 💯🙏🏻
Legend, period. What a lady!!
I wish Clark Gable got his when he was alive--- he deserved one. So did Grant, Garland, La Hepburns, Brando. Stanwyck deserved an Oscar
she deserved an Oscar for sure--but Oscars aren't everything--so many greats didn't get one--and so many who have gotten one are nearly completely forgotten!!
Jennifer Brigitte She received an honorary Oscar for all of her work in motion pictures.
@@TheRmjr She should have received best actress for either Stella Dallas and/or Double Indemnity. She was robbed!
Wayne J True and this was acknowledged and the purpose of a lifetime award recognizing her work collectively.
Barbara Stanwyck was such an American classic. A superb actress. My favorite role of her's was in Stella Dallas. The scene of her watching her estrange daughter's marriage while biting down on a hankerchief always start the tears flowing. Her eyes glistening with tears is a true display of Miss Stanwyck"s great talent. A great actress in an era where acting was truly a great art. Barbara Stanwyck was a true American Icon.
What a woman of class and character! Also very ironic! This is the last appearance of Barbara Stanwyck. A final tribute to one of the greatest actresses of the American cinema! Thanks AFI!
A wonderful lady , beauty , poise, glamour ❤
A POWERFULL WOMEN !and Beautiful at the same time:) I miss HER ! rip love .
Barbara Stanwyck defined in Webster's as Uncomproble, SHINING STAR!
Honor, love, adulation to my beautiful, gifted Irish SIS!
May you rest in peace! The world misses you! Thank you for your extraordinary, movie legacy, Barbara Stanwyck! Blessings
Quite incomparable then and now the talent this legendary actress had on screen. More's the crime the Academy couldn't get her across the line to win one of her 4 Oscar nominated roles at the height of her acting powers And what an actor. Let's not forget her stunning beauty, in a 100 years of Hollywood beauties, Babs is in my all time top 5 no problem. Still in love with her image, now isn't that a legacy she's left for the heavens. RIP Ms Stanwyck.
The movie I enjoyed watching her in was "Baby Face" back when she was in her 20s....she was a great actress even back in the 1930s. :)
What an amazing actress she was.
Greatest actress of all time!
RIP Barbara. You were and are one of the greatest. Love her!
One of my very favorite actors - marvelous lady! Grew up watching her ❤
Her face looks really good for how old she was.
What a lady. Great actress. Wonderfull human being. ♥️ our ❤️ always. R. I. P.
What a wonderful speech from a very classy and talented Lady.
An Amazing lady and a great actress😌🥰👌
Great actress, and a class act all the way. I still don't feel Barbara got the credit she fully deserved, but I am glad that so many fans realize the impact she had on film...
the greatest actress that i know , i love Barbara Stanwyck
Miss Stanwyck has always been one of my favorites
such a gracious and lovely lady
When they talk of a great star, I think of Stanwyck
She is a Legend that will never be forgotten..
Wow she was so beautiful
Lovely real, sincere, down to earth speech--no notes came from Ms. S.'s heart. Love you Missy! You're the best--compassionate, fun, real in every thing you acted in! You make movie watching a pleasure and an instruction! THE BEST!
WOWEE THETERRYE! HOW VERY FORTUNATE YOU WERE TO BE THERE IN PERSON TO SEE BARBARA GET THIS WELL DESERVED AWARD! MY DAD HAD TAPED IT FOR ME. NOW THAT TAPE NO LONGER EXISTS. I AM TRYING SO HARD TO FIND A COPY OF THIS PROGRAM.I WOULD LOVE TO GET THE WHOLE PROGRAM OF THIS SHOW WITH BARBARA IN IT AND ALL THE OTHER STARS THAT ARE LONG PAST GONE.THE BEST SCENE IS WHEN SHE ASKED RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN TO KISS ON HER OWN HER MOUTH LIKE THEY WERE LOVERS! SHE GOT AN EMMY FOR MARY CARSON. I LOVED HER IN THE COLBYS. THE SPINOFF FROM DYNASTY. SHE WAS BORN IN BROOKLYN AND SHE WAS TOUGH LADY. ALSO, VERY HELPING WITH OTHER ACTORS IN HER PROFESSION. I MISS BARBARA STANWYCK. THEY CALLED HER MISSY. I LOVE THAT NAME AND HER REAL NAME WAS RUBY STEVENS. RUBIES ARE RED AND THEY SHINE SO BRIGHTLY! AS SHE DID! THANK YOU TO THIS CLIP FROM THE AFI AWARDS! :)
I love these old stars and perhaps it’s because it takes me back to my youth.
I wish some of these stars would have known what we know about smoking, alcohol, nutrition, and exercise.
Well, we know it but that doesn’t mean we live it.
I should be thankful for their time with us.
She wasn't exotic like Garbo or Dietrich, nor spiky like Hepburn (K) or Davis, nor a scenery-chewer like Crawford. She was Ruby Stevens, the orphan with a grade-school education had worked her way up from the chorus and never forgot it. No Hollywood actress was nicer to the little people around her. None was less likely to throw tantrums, bitch about the roles the studios gave her or act mean around rivals.
She was unfailingly on time, properly turned out, knowing her lines and making helpful suggestions. She would play comedy or drama, even do pin-up pix for GIs (as when playing Gypsy Rose Lee) and was willing to be unsympathetic on screen (Double Indemnity).
She began in saucy pre-Code thrillers (Night Nurse) and was bossing Elvis around four decades later. The most exacting directors, such as De Mille and Fritz Lang, sang her praises, but she was so consistent that the public took her for granted, like Cary Grant. She never won a performance Oscar, only a career special award (cf Fred Astaire). But now critics and historians are exalting both her and Grant- Stanwyck's latest biographer has penned a thousand pages which take her career only up to 1940- and there is a growing suspicion that these were two of the best actors to grace the Golden Age.
so well said. You sum the beautiful and amazing lady up perfectly. I have been a fan of her since 1960 at the age of 13. I have always looked up to her because of all of her stuggles she overcame. She has and still is my role model.
I'm pretty sure that while she was nominated multiple times for an Oscar she never won, she definitely deserved one if not for one role in one year, for the culmination of her amazing career. While she was not ever considered a " bombshell " by definition, she was absolutely one of that most sensual, alluring and sexy women to ever grace the screen and that was totally based on her skill as an actress. She was indeed HOT.
Extraordinária e inesquecível atriz!
Stanwyck, Stewart, Wilder... all in the same room. They stand for a better time of filmmaking, without CGI crap and without High Concept Movies without any creative input. They stand for class and talent.
From all accounts, specifically, interviews with co-stars and friends, Stanwyck was very gracious and supportive of young actors. Most significantly, in the case of William Holden, with whom she worked in the film adaptation of Odets' Golden Boy. Holden stated that the Studio was initially going to fire him when Stanwyck interceded on his behalf. It was the first major role for Holden and the start of a lifelong mutual admiration.
Her golden voice is still the same.. Great actress
Marvellous shot of Jimmy Stewart.
