The Stanwyck Project

Barbara Stanwyck just might be the greatest actress Hollywood has ever had the honor of calling its own. Eventually finding success in both film and television, this woman could do it all — comedy, drama, thriller, Western. You name it, she probably played it… and played it well! Her characters were varied and her performances are known for their captivating, honest, and authentic qualities.

As soon as I saw my first Stanwyck film I became a fan, and a few months after beginning this blog in 2012 I made it my mission to watch (or re-watch) and review every film that Stanwyck ever made! As of December 2017, I have done just that: reviewed every single Stanwyck film, and a few of her TV projects! Here you’ll find Stanwyck’s filmography list, as well as links to my reviews of her work.
