Barbara Stanwyck is the most versatile actress to ever grace the silver screen. During the annals of her career, Barbara showcased her indelible talents in a pantheon of films of every genre imaginable, and succeeded on all levels.
Sadly Barbara Stanwyck passed away on January 20th, 1990, at age 82. For many fans worldwide this is a day of mourning, but for a legion of others, it’s a time when we reminisce about how phenomenal Barbara Stanwyck was and pay tribute to Barbara and the myriad of achievements she made.
Barbara Stanwyck is my favorite actress of all time, and January 20th marks the 26th anniversary of her passing, so as a special remembrance to my favorite actress, I’ve decided to celebrate her legacy by hosting a blogathon in her honor.
What better way is there to pay tribute to Barbara Stanwyck than hosting a blogathon to commemorate this sad day, so let’s all coalesce and show “Missy” some love.
BLOGATHON RULES:
1. Feel free to write about any subject relating to Barbara Stanwyck or any aspect of her life and career. Barbara Stanwyck has an extensive body of work, so if you want, you can write about any movie from her large resume of films. The choice is yours. As long as the topic relates to Barbara or her filmography, it’s more than welcome.
2. Duplicates are welcome. While many blogathons don’t allow duplicates, I’m more than happy to have more than one person blogging about the same subject.
3. To express your interest in participating in the blogathon, leave a comment on my blog, along with the name and URL of your blog, and the subject you wish to cover, or you can always register by email at: carolelombardforever@yahoo.com. For those of you who wish to register by email, please be sure to include the name and URL of your blog, and the topic you wish to cover. Once you get confirmation, please spread the word about this blogathon by advertising the event on your blog. Below are a few banners, so grab yourself a banner, and let’s pay tribute to the legendary Barbara Stanwyck who sadly departed this earth on January 20th, 1990.

Good morning! I’d LOVE to jump on in there and claim the big kahunas for myself ( “The Strange Love of Martha Ivers” “Double Indemnity” “Meet John Doe” ) but I fear the noiristas in the blogging world would pitchfork, tar and feather me within an inch of my life. So I’ll leave those alone. What I WOULD like to do, is just a general overview of Miss Stanwyck’s career if that’d be okay with you. It might touch on several of her films, but only briefly as I watch others go all in. I’m CineMaven and I have some essays on my couch. 😉 You’ll find me here:
