I think the first Barbara Stanwyck movie I saw was The Lady Eve and I automatically loved her attitude in that movie, that every time I see a movies of hers, I know I'm in for a treat.Nicole Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07858454185709468641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-66386781558960470702009-03-31T14:15:00.000-04:002009-03-31T14:15:00.000-04:00Your artwork is so lovely!

Over the past year I've become a huge fan of Barbara's and now list her as one of my favorite actresses of all time, though speaking purely in terms of acting talent I think she is absolutely top dog. I don't understand why she hasn't received the same level of praise as some of her contemporaries. She really could do anything. This is a wonderful post and I completely agree with all your sentiments. :) Yay babs!Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15156051197099180915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-53413987071653646012009-03-16T00:47:00.000-04:002009-03-16T00:47:00.000-04:00Thanks Raquelle :)Thanks Raquelle :)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026961018017690353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-47917701459508326452009-03-15T12:48:00.000-04:002009-03-15T12:48:00.000-04:00Quite beautiful Kate.

I loved your post on Stany, too! You matched her photo perfectly. If I ever become famous and can record a TCM promo, I really don't know who I'd pick. Sometimes as a "fall asleep game" when I'm too awake I'll start trying to decide which 4 movies I'd pick if I were a guest programmer, and that's too hard as well! (ps... LOVE Picnic!)<BR/><BR/>Jaqueline- I should have just replaced my Barbara Stanwyck post with your comment! You articulated what I wish I could have said, perfectly.<BR/><BR/>Paul- Thanks :)<BR/><BR/>Keith- She really could do it all. Have a wonderful weekend too!<BR/><BR/>Lolita- 1) Thank you. 2) Thank you again. 3) I'll try to post more of the TCM tributes when they go with the person I'm painting/sketching for you to see... they are really fun 4) Isn't it cute? I love her singing voice, I wish she had done it more often. 5) Wasn't that heartbreaking?! 6) I'm so glad you like it! I like to watch movies with headphones on, too. It does help make the world disappear..<BR/><BR/>Lolita again- lol... thanks for the link!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026961018017690353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-33565765311035007092009-03-13T18:05:00.000-04:002009-03-13T18:05:00.000-04:00My God!

The middle one is my favourite. I am quite tempted to but that Louise Brooks/Lulu painting of yours...<BR/><BR/>And I think you did amazingly well putting your admiration of Stanwyck into words! Even though you say you can't ;)<BR/><BR/>The Jennifer Jason Leigh tribute was great, would like to see more of those TCM tributes (don't have that channel!)<BR/><BR/>The Mississippi-song was wonderful! How cute. It made me glad! And her voice is very cosy.<BR/><BR/>The Oscars clips were interesting too, and both of them very moving. How she almost breaks down in tears when she holds up the statue...<BR/><BR/>And last of all: Now I have seen, finally, your favourite Pickford film - Secrets. What a great film! I will do a post on it ;) Need I tell you that I cried? My boyfriend thought I was crazy. We sit next to each other with a computer each, so I watch my old movies with ear phones, completely isolated from the outside world!<BR/><BR/>Thank you, wonderful post!Lolita of the Classicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596876234508882958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-65826434518326913102009-03-13T09:52:00.000-04:002009-03-13T09:52:00.000-04:00What a great post on her!

Amazing when you think she worked from the days of vaudeville to the days of television in one of longest, most productive careers ever enjoyed by an actor. She did enjoy her work, and perhaps that is the secret of her talent. Those are terrific prints, and together they capture was is probably foremost of Stanwyck's attributes: her ability to change, adapt, and be someone totally different.Jacqueline T.

Your paintings of Stanwyck are terrific. :)<BR/><BR/>Plus, I got a kick out of seeing the title of this post show up in my sidebar: I too was gonna post about Stanwyck tonight! :)<BR/><BR/>I watched PICNIC earlier, and thinking of Holden led me to thinking of Stanwyck. I love that they were friends in real life...<BR/><BR/>"I've always seemed to have a harder time doing justice to the talents that I admire the most."<BR/><BR/>I'm the same way...maybe everyone is...though I do think you did her justice: if not just through your words, then definitely through your paintings! :)<BR/><BR/>"Jennifer Jason Leigh recorded a tribute to Barbara Stanwyck a few years ago"<BR/><BR/>That's one of the best! But I haven't seen it in forever...seems like every time one comes on, it's ol' Cary Grant...I think he has several!<BR/><BR/>I hope I get famous one day so TCM will let me do one for Dana. ;)<BR/><BR/>...<BR/><BR/>Again, great job! :)Ginger Ingenuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06904339551806493214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-38773796272211736442009-03-13T00:28:00.000-04:002009-03-13T00:28:00.000-04:00Wonderful!
