Enduring, thoroughly professional star who, despite her share of wicked or malignant characters, remained one of America’s most-loved screen personalities.
Most of her characters were strong-willed and feisty, holding their own against, and even dominating, their male counterparts in films such as “Annie Oakley (1935) and “Cattle Queen of Montana”,(1954)

Stanwyck was considered the most closeted lesbian in Hollywood. She married twice, the first time to vaudevillian Frank Fay and the second time to Robert Taylor. Although she rebuffed any questions about her sexuality or her marriages, many observers of the Hollywood scene believed that neither Stanwyck nor either of her husbands were heterosexual.

Actress Tallulah Bankhead has also claimed to have slept with Barbara Stanwyck.
