Barbara Stanwyck (1907-1990)

Barbara Stanwyck was an American actress, who performed on stage, film and television for sixty years.

She was orphaned and raised in foster homes. She started her career in 1923 at the age of sixteen as a Ziegfeld girl, and became a Broadway star with her role in the musical Burlesque (1927), after which she transitioned from the stage to the film industry. Some of her iconic roles were in Night Nurse (1931), Baby Face (1933), The Lady Eve (1941), Double Indemnity (1944), and Walk on the Wild Side (1962).

She was nominated for four Academy Awards and received an Honorary Oscar in 1982. She was ranked as the 11th-greatest female star of classic American cinema by the American Film Institute.

Her status of Hollywood icon and affiliation to Republicans make it quite impossible to openly discuss her sexuality, even today. She bought land, build a ranch and lived on it with her agent's wife, Marion Marx, and most likely had a 40 years relationship with her publicist Helen Ferguson, who allegedly admitted there was no doubt in her mind that Barbara & Joan Crawford, on top of their very well-known friendship, had been intimate on more than one occasion. Find here a thread of all her possible female lovers.
