"[William] Wellman was crazy about her [Barbara Stanwyck], and he didn't like too many actresses. She was lusty, bantered about, was full of wit. She played tennis, went to the fights, didn't gossip, and took trouble on the chin. She minded her own business, smoked with an unaffected pleasure thought of as masculine [...]. Neither Wellman nor Barbara were interested in the social world of Hollywood, nor were they engaged in the political games of the town. She admired Wellman. Both stood apart from Hollywood society. Barbara didn't like the showiness of picture stars. 'I wouldn't wear an ermine coat to a Hollywood opening if I was offered the coat and a thousand dollar bonus,' she said. 'All of the ermine coats the furriers had in stock were rented to movie people for the [recent] opening of 'Grand Hotel'. Imagine putting on a show like that just to let people think you're more prosperous than you are. Not for me.' Wellman saw Barbara as intelligent, resourceful, tough: 'a magnificent actress.' 'Wild Bill' was one of Barbara's 'best-beloved' people. He studied his script hard, prepared for his day's work, and always did his best. His work was sure and fast. Wellman took chances. He would try anything that made sense to him regardless of whether it made sense to anyone else." Source: Victoria Wilson, _A Life of Barbara Stanwyck: Steel-True, 1907-1940_, 2013.

Alan Greenberg asks Barbara Stanwyck to compare Frank Capra and William Wellman: "AG: And how would you compare Capra say to William Wellman who you worked ...? BS: [Interrupts.] Ah! Two different types, but equally marvellous in what they did, though Capra was more of an introvert, except when he handled people. And he could make YOU understand. And that was a... that's a great quality. Bill was 'Wild Bill,' if you want. (Laughs.) I used to call him 'Wild Bill' Wellman because that's what he was, which was a wonderful way to work because he gave YOU HIS enthusiasm. And when he wanted a quiet set, he ironed it out. He said: 'Any hollering or whooping you wanna do, fellas, do it now. But, if you do it after I say 'now,' you're out of luck, you're off the set.' That was him. They were both very positive men. Very positive. And, it was right of Bill because that's the only way Bill worked. He could be quiet as a mouse when you were called upon to do an emotional scene. He would kill anybody who, who uh, who walked or sneezed or what. He said: 'If you have to cough or sneeze, get OFF the set.'" Source: "Barbara Stanwyck Interview: On Her Directors & Sister," 1989.

Actress Barbara Stanwyck was born #onthisday in 1907. She wore this Edith Head designed black period gown, embellished with four silver birds formed from beads and rhinestones, as Hannah Sempler in The Great Man's Lady (1942). Sadly, only the beadwork has survived, and a reproduction dress was made to preserve the beadwork.

"Preparation for a role that would age the 33-year-old Stanwyck to 109 was extensive. Charles Gemora (who worked for the picture's make-up artist, Wally Westmore) created brilliant make-ups for the ages she would portray. Edith Head did graceful costumes for a period that is a designer's delight. And two weeks of tests followed. [...] Head recalled these and said of Stanwyck: '... she's absolutely loyal. If she feels something is right, no one can change her mind. She'll stand up against director, producer and writer, come hell or high pressure. [At one point in] 'Great Man's Lady' she played the owner of a gambling hall, one of the richest women in the early West. I copied a dress worn by a noted woman of the period: black velvet embroidered with diamond birds. Stanwyck loved it; so did I. When we ran the test, several executives suggested that, wonderful as it was, it would look even better without the birds. 'If the birds go, the dress goes,' Stanwyck said firmly. 'I like 'em; so does Edith.'' [...] Along with the externals being planned for her, Stanwyck was working on a set of her own - one that would be prompted by her understanding of the internals. Her research took her and director William Wellman to an Eastern Star home [a retirement home], where she absorbed some of the real thing." I was extremely impressed by Missy's realistic imitation of the gestures and the movements of the elderly in this movie. I was also very interested in how the script highlights the gaps in historiography which characterize the reconstruction of any individual's biography. In my opinion, "The Great Man's Lady" is a highly compelling film. Source: Source: Ella Smith, _Starring Miss Barbara Stanwyck_.

I’ve only time for short posts this weekend, but I do want to mark the 115th birth anniversary of Barbara Stanwyck, born on 16 July 1907. Affectionately known as Missy, she was of course equally adept in melodrama, thrillers, film noir, and more romantic roles. Her favourite genre though was the Western and given that’s my favourite too, it’s not surprising that it’s those films (and a tv series) that I’ll be concentrating on in these galleries. In this first one we have: Pic 1 - Annie Oakley (1935) Pics 2-5 - Union Pacific (1939, with Joel McCrea, Robert Preston & others) Pic 6 - The Great Man’s Lady (1942) Pics 7-8 - The Furies (1950, with Judith Anderson, Walter Huston & Wendell Corey) Pics 9-10 - Cattle Queen of Montana (1954, with Ronald Reagan). More in another post. If you’re interested in seeing a range of photos & finding out great facts about Missy, do check out @rememberingbarbarastanwyck’s great content. As you know I like a quiz, between 1939 & 1952 Missy was married to Mr Spangler Arlington Brugh. By what name is this Hollywood heart throb thankfully better known? The answer will be in the 2nd post #barbarastanwyck #barbarastanwyck💎 #annieoakley1935 #unionpacific1939 #thegreatmanslady #thefuries1950 #cattlequeenofmontana
Film and Television actress K. T. Stevens who appeared in numerous movies and TV shows. This is a great original press photo from my personal vintage photo collection, which shows K. T. sitting in a tiny car - looks like a kiddie car, but it’s Not! Photo is dated September 10, 1942. To see the story and learn why this is no child’s car, read the press information from the backside of the photo next to this one. #KTStevens #KittyFoyle #TheGreatMansLady #AddressUnknown #PortofNewYork #ViceSquad #BobCarolTedAlice #CorrinaCorrina

Pinney House, Sierra Madre. Ornate #queenanne built in 1887 by Samuel and Joseph Cather Newsom for Dr. Elbert Pinney who wanted a hotel to welcome East Coasters arriving in #losangeles during the land boom of the 1880s. In the years since, it’s been a sanatorium, a boarding house, a dance studio and a filming location. ( #thesevenlittlefoys with #bobhope and #thegreatmanslady with #barbarastanwyck) Not currently on the market, but it’s been listed for sale a few times in the last several years. The architects are also known for another property in nearby #monrovia, Idlewild House which was used on #highwaytoheaven with #michaellandon. #victorianarchitecture #samuelnewsom #josephcathernewsom #idlewild

I've never even seen The Great Man's Lady (1942) but I am very interested in Barbara's dress and exceptionally cool streaked hair.
