Nominated for Academy Awards four different times for her films, Stella Dallas, Ball of Fire, Sorry, Wrong Number, and Double Indemnity, who is this talented and beautiful actress with a hint of Brooklyn in her voice?

Barbara Stanwyck was an actress who always took strong leading roles and whether she was making you cry in Stella Dallas or laugh in The Lady Eve, she had a believability quotient like few others. Her special forte was film noir, and she was all femme fatale in these dark dramas that left you watching over your shoulder. From humble beginnings - orphaned at age four and being raised in foster homes - to being the highest paid actress in the United States in 1944, Stanwyck paid her dues, leaving a legacy of fabulous films to enjoy.
