How do I love thee, Barbara? Let me count the ways.
Barbara Stanwyck is a legend. More than that she personifies what is womanly, mysterious, glorious, imaginative, beautiful, strong, enduring, endearing, powerful, magical, fun, optimistic in life and in theatre. Not one to display theatrics or uncontrolled emotions when accepting awards on stage in front of an audience, Barbara Stanwyck is a fine inspiration and role model for women.
I think women accepting Academy Awards, Golden Globes, or other 'gongs' today should look at a video of Barbara before they go to any award ceremony. These women would know how to act after seeing Barbara handle these emotional moments onstage.
Ms Stanwyck's longevity in the movie industry speaks volumes. Thank God the fans have these movies because she chose not to write one of those scandalous expose type novels about showbiz people she knew. Her classiness and strong ethics shine through 6 decades of motion pictures instead of on the pages of a bestseller, which her book certainly would have been.
