On By In The Good Old Days Of Classic Hollywood

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.

  2. 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:

  11. Hi Crystal, I’d love to participate. Her role as Victoria Barkley in The Big Valley is where I first discovered Ms. Stanwyck when I was a little girl. I’ve been a fan ever since. So… I’d love to write about her in The Big Valley. Thanks, Tonya

  12. Oh thanks for the notice, I’ll gladly participate. A great way to kick off my January blogging,too. Please put me down for Clash by Night, which stars Stanwyck with Paul Douglas and Robert Ryan. I have it on my dvr, waiting for me to watch it.

      1. Hi just to warn you, my film just dropped off of Netflix streaming, it’s been a while since I’ve seen it so I may not be able to do it justice. I am trying to locate another copy.

  20. Hi Crystal,

    secondsightcinema.com will do Strange Love of Martha Ivers. I think. Another idea is whispering…will let you know if I change topics.

    Thanks for doing this!

  25. Hi Crystal. Thanks for the invitation. I love Barbara Stanwyck, but I have to miss this one because of work and family commitments. I promise I will read as many of the posts as I can. Thank you for putting together these blogathons.

  31. Can I (tentatively) have The Mad Miss Manton? I haven’t actually seen it yet, but I was planning to record it from TCM this weekend anyway, and most of my favorites (Ball of Fire, The Lady Eve) have already been taken a couple of times. Thanks!

      1. Unfortunately, now that I’ve watched The Mad Miss Manton, I don’t feel that I have anything particularly useful to say about it, so I might have to withdraw unless I can come up with another topic in the next two weeks. I’ll keep thinking. At any rate, I’m looking forward to reading everyone else’s posts!

    Hi Crystal! Sorry for being out of it this past week but had some health issues. So thank you for leaving a message on my blog. I think I’ll be doing the film East Side, West Side (1950). If I want to change, I’ll let you know later on.

    Thanks again for inviting me to participate in this blogathon.

  39. Hi Crystal, thank you for the invite! Barbara Stanwyck is one of my favorite actresses, and I love so many of her movies; I’m looking forward to this blogathon.

    I’m thinking of writing a bit of an overview of her four films that were released in 1941, as two of those films paired her with Gary Cooper (Meet John Doe and Ball of Fire) and the other two paired her with Henry Fonda (The Lady Eve and You Belong to Me).
