I'm a 29 year old hard nosed feller, and - hell - this always makes me cry every time TCM plays it. Good choice JJ Leigh! Barbara Stanwyck will always be one of my very favorites.

Our dearest Missy, forever the greatest actress on screen (what an amazing versatility !) and such an endearing woman too - I love and admire her so very much. Thank you a lot for sharing this tribute ^_^

Those Hollywood Dames -- the great glamour girls of the 30's and 40's --- no others have ever compared. Talent dripped from their fingers. This is a bygone era but thank God we have it on tape to enjoy forever.

Barbara Stanwyck was and is one of the greatest actresses of all time. How this woman never received an Oscar in her own right I'll never know!

The footage at the 50-second mark is either Gambling Lady or Lady of Burlesque. I read a great anecdote in one of her obituaries about her role in The Colbys in 1985. One day she said to a young actress "Let's go. We've got a scene to do" The actress said "Well, I don't feel it right now. The vibes aren't right." So Stanwyck says "'Fuck your vibes! Get your butt in here and start acting!" No wonder directors loved her.

Unlike many of her contemporaries, Barbara's performances hold up so well; such a natural, honest and well - modern actress was she. Guess she is what is known as being a "timeless" performer

The best actresses of all time are Bette Davis, Katherine Hepburn, Joan Crawford and Barbara Stanwyck In my humble opinion.

No, you're not alone. I agree with what Leigh says but *how* she says it is unconvincing. Luckily I'm a big Stanwyck fan and I don't need convincing to know that she was one of the greatest actresses ever to grace cinema.

You better believe it ! When she turned it on. Splendid post Shaun.

Part of her success was the fact that she was not a conventional beauty (small eyes, long nose, flat chest). She was pretty enough that, with the right wardrobe and makeup, etc., she could play glamorous roles like the Lady Eve. But she was also plain enough to play dowdy women like Stella Dallas. This gave her a range that otherwise talented actresses like Kate Hepburn and Bette Davis could not match.

JJL sounds half asleep & bored talking about Stanwyck. Barbara was the greatest. To have Jennifer's opportunity to speak about her would be the highlight of my life, I'd hardly sound this disinterested. I much prefer Laura Dern's tribute, Dern's love for Stanwyck shines through everything she says.

That's just how Jennifer sounds, I think she does a good job.

that's great! did she really say that? man, that sure is a great way to take charge, a vetran actress telling whats what to a stubborn young snob, Barbara was definately a strong woman.

Stanwyck, Davis, Hepburn, Crawford, Leigh were the best! But Garbo was the greatest..!

Am I the only one that thinks Jennifer Jason Leigh's narration voice is plain and boring. She sounds so emotionless, its like shes reading a paper on Barbara.

It's been said that Jennifer "comes to life" when she's playing a role. Nevertheless, I love her voice.

The only miscasting I see here is Jennifer Jason Leigh playing the role of "the narrator".

Love Missy, but could JJL sound any less excited? Meryl Streep sounded a lot more sincere in her tribute to Bette Davis.
