I've always like Laura Dern. Now I like her even more. She's got great taste.
And a gorgeous speaking voice.
Ran into Ms. Dern once after an event in L.A., and in walking past I briefly praised her work in "Citizen Ruth," a favorite Dern film. She was with the director and immediately pointed to him, to acknowledge his contribution to her performance- pure class!
I only like her now, cuz she has good taste, I didn't know lol
I put her achievement and acting skill at par with Bette Davis. Though she never won an Oscar, to me she was one of the greatest actresses of the golden age of Hollywood.
Stanwyck was a far greater and more versatile actress than Bette Davis.
I agree. Bette Davis is my favorite of all time, but Barbara Stanwyck runs a very close second. I think what made Miss Stanwyck so good in any movie was her "one take", cut, print. Probably because she was in Vaudeville, and on the stage you do not get a second, third etc. "take"! And she was very helpful and encouraging to many new "stars"! But that's just my opinion.
I believe she is the most naturalistic actor besides Gary Cooper. She makes everything seems effortless. I love her ❤❤❤
@@cathydrumobich9045 Yes wtf🤦♂️😂Davis is so f**** overrated, and the only cool movies she did - was her early pre-code, which the tasteless old woman hated, of course, while Stanwyck was the greatest actress who played the greatest role in the greatest movie, Baby Face
@@usmale4915 No wtf🤦♂️😅 Davis is a piece of used garbage compared with Stanwyck
I love when TCM does tributes like these.
That's all they have. Presently Hollywood is filled with commies and weenies
@@floatsting20 true
Her body of work really speaks for itself. She was never the same character and just delivers.
Her performance in "Double Indemnity" is one of the most brilliant I ever saw--she truly does cause the audience to question its morals. It is the exemplar of film noir. I also love her in "The Lady Eve" and "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers"--she never got pigeonholed into one type!
She was also outstanding in "Sorry Wrong Number"!
Thanks for all the love and support. seriously blown away by the love from all you.thank you
@@lauradern6566 You say more about Barbara in seven minutes that most of the biography's on her failed to do. I have been a fan of Barbara for 75 years, and was lucky enough to meet her at her Lincoln Centre Tribute in 1981. She was everything that I hoped she would be, and more! .
It’s because she wasn’t under contract to one studio, which allowed her to display the range she did.
"Stella Dallas" is another great (and very moving) Stanwyck performance- the ending kills me every time.
I'm 20 y/o (soon 21) but I have always been in love with old hollywood movies, I have been watching them since 13, and Barbara Stanwyck has always been my favorite actress of all time. She's absolutely irreplaceable.
Thanks for the love and support I appreciate you ❤️
You have excellent taste, darling ❤❤❤
I’m 21 this yr and my fav actor is Stanwyck too! Glad to meet u my friend😘😘
I’m a baby boomer and LOVE the movies, acting and the acting craft. Hollywood’s golden years were exquisite and so full of rich performances. I still have more Stanwyk movies to see or re watch. What a joy!!
Yes, me too, cinema peaked in the 30s, people are so ignorant, they don't know and think imitators like DeNiro, Streep, Scorsese and Tarantino invented the wheel wtf🤦♂️😅
Barbara could handle the toughest role and make it look easy- her performances remain as fresh, natural and compelling today as when the films were originally released.
Well be said. Miss Stanwyck would be flattered.
Stella Dallas broke me into a million pieces. Brilliant acting, ahead of her time.
Just saw Lady Eve, my first Stanwyck movie. I'm in love.
A wonderful actress and from what Ive always heard a wonderful person as well.
Thanks for the love and support I appreciate you
She lost her parents soon and grew up in hardship- She had to learn life soon becoming hard and streetwise, still she remained a good person, strong and kind, amante people who really knew her have said
I think both Barbara Stanwyck and Laura Dern are great actresses, so I really enjoyed this video. Thank you TCM for posting it.
With all due respect, don't put Dern or any of the later actresses in the same league as Stanwyck, Harlow or these gals lol
This was very touching. I thoroughly enjoyed. I absolutely love Barbara Stanwyck. Thank you TCM for doing these tributes that involve today's Hollywood. What a wonderful way to keep her memory alive.
I have just been watching episodes of The Big Valley. I love that series, I had a crush on the three brothers and loved Victoria Barkley. There is an episode about anthrax and the family is sitting around the dinner table and Barbara is eating grapes and responds to a question in a way that is so natural, so authentic, that it doesn't feel like acting. I also just watched an episode with Laura's father Bruce Dern, I don't think Laura was born yet.
'She is the every woman and she is our scream legend'; That was her gift. This is the most beautiful and moving account of her, who is also my favorite actress. The pro of pros.
Stanwyck started out as a chorus girl, and her knowledge of movement and physicality informs every character she plays. The set of Ball of Fire is an escher-esque amalgam of steps, landings, balustrades and heavy furniture, all so we can see here move through it like a ray of light reflected of crystal.
That's why I love Barbara Stanwyck that shows so much in her face and her mannerism. This performance won her a nomination but to me it was one of the best of Barbara's career. So humble and yet so caring at the same time. I wished she had won an Oscar because she deserved one for this role.
🎂 Today/tonight Feb.10th,2021... 🎉 Happy 54th Birthday Laura Dern!
Bette Davis was first offered the role in Christmas in Connecticut but turned it down because she had already did what she and most of America and her fans considered to be Christmas movie, The Man Who Came to Dinner and didn't want to be type cast by starring in another holiday/Christmas film so soon after it's release and I think I can speak for all of us in saying how glad we are that she did. I could easily see Bette in the lead role in Christmas in Connecticut and even deliver a stellar performance but Barbara Stanwyck brought something of her own to the role and making the role and the movie her own. Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without watching Barbara Stanwyck in Christmas in Connecticut. A true classic right up there with It's a Wonderful Life(in all honesty, I would much rather watch Christmas in Connecticut over and over than to watch It's A Wonderful Life. Sorry..) Miracle on 34th Street(Maureen O'Hara) It Happened on 5th Avenue etc...
Thanks for the love and support I appreciate you
I just watched Baby Face and oh my God this woman was gorgeous and such a great actress and what a terrific movie that was ,now I want to watch a whole bunch of her other movies and fall more in love with her
There were very few actresses of the Golden Age of Hollywood who could exit any scene perfectly with class, elegance and professionalism while commanding and continuing what the script and seen called for. Bette Davis may be my most favorite actress in the history of Hollywood but Barbara Stanwyck was right up there with Bette. They were both outstanding leading ladies. Both were always and did take on roles that didn't stereotype them. Watching both actresses on screen you truly believed was indeed the person or role they were portraying unlike Joan Crawford who in her own way was a good actress but in her movies, she didn't become the character she was playing, it was Joan Crawford being herself and reciting the what the script called for. Thank you for sharing this video. It was well done.
You just said everything I was going to comment on. Yes, both Bette and Barbara made you believe the character they were portraying! And yes, I agree with you about Joan Crawford (there was always that undercurrent that she was just being Joan Crawford) in many of her movies. Thanks for your comment, I think you said what I was not quite able to put into your phrasing!
Stanwyck and Davis, my tip top favorite Old Hollywood dames.
One of my favorite actress ever
She was so talented! I never get tired of watching her films! The GOAT in terms of the Greatest Female Actress of All-Time! Well... She, personally speaking, is my all time favorite lady actress! Love this gal!
Best actress ever.
Barbara was so underrated.
MEET JOHN DOE(1941) w/ Stanwyck and Gary Cooper, directed by Frank Capra. Watch it on UA-cam.
Yes!!!!!
Stanwyck is perhaps the most beloved star of that era if not any era....I know she is mine.
This was a great video! I love classic movies and she is one of my favorite actresses. I can rewatch her movies a million times and still be in awe of her performances. I love all her movies especially "No man of her own, East side West side, Remember the night and ofcourse the TV show The Big Valley❤❤❤😊
There is more information conveyed in her single look up and down at Fred MacMurray in the Niagara Falls scene in Remember The Night than there is in some feature films.
well put!
A Great Actress
Watched Double Indemnity for the first time a few months ago. Gets better with each watch, just like Collateral
If Laura actually wrote that whole monologue I’m impressed.
I love this particularly since this From someone who knew her 🤣☺️
There are only two actors who , when you see there names in the credit , you know your going to be entertained . Rutger Hauer is the other . When I finish watching any of their movies , I always feel that we got more than our money's worth .
With all due respect to Hauer, and Blade Runner is pretty much the only movie with real value that came after the death of Hollywood in the end of the 50s, you can't put him on the same level with those guys lol
@@EasternRomeOrthodoxy All ' those guys ' had the best script , directors , technical advisors , cameras , locations , ect ect ect . . . Hauer turned killer B production movies into something enjoyable and memorable . And , i'll just add , In my opinion .
@@RJ-bn5uw No, they had the golden era studio system which picked them for their magical star quality and personality, which non of the later actors have compared to them, not even close. Hauer is the character in Blade Runner, we'll give him that beautiful thing, it's enough )
@@EasternRomeOrthodoxy Exactly my point , they had a ' golden studio system ! Hauer complimented hundreds of garage and backyard studio's by sheer presence . To say you just liked one movie of someones , is just weak . You haven't seen the hundreds , I ain't seen them all , I am just pointing out that in my opinion his work is entertaining . Not quite sure why that bothers you .
@@RJ-bn5uw Believe me I have seen em ALL which is embarrassing considering the waste of time. Let's make something straight: all movies done after the golden era are garbage compared to that era, even if they are good for their time, but the only ones who stand out are Blade Runner and Siesta 1987, because they are end of the world movies, and represent the death of cinema and everything and the post-apocalypse in a perfect cinematic way - they are the swan song of cinema, you can say. Actors and actresses in those times were different creatures and personalities from the later ones, so either way, Hauer, whom Is love, is not in their league, and no one is, it is not am insult
Plus plus plus plus plus
Loveee her
Damn Great Actress!!😍😍
The best
I actually thought Laura Dern was in a movie called Barbara Stanwyck as a young child. 🤣
💖💖💖👏👏👏👏
A brilliant commentary by a brilliant actress on one of the greatest. I'm so mesmerized by Stanwyck--just finished crying my eyes out watching Stella Dallas for the first time. My one disappointment: she was a rabid Republican--figured if she'd made it, anybody could. What an underestimation of her own gifts and an overestimation of the availability of the American Dream.
Hey Laura, your father punched her in the face on The Big Valley. Did you ever confront him about it?
And finishing off John Wayne in "The Cowboys.'
Btw - Barbara Stanwyck is my favorite Actress.
And John Wayne s my Favorite Actor.
They both made one picture together in "Baby Face."
Barbara Stanwyck is the most exciting actress of that time together with Ingrid Bergman
I love strong willed women she would be an absolute challenge to my male ego
Stanwyck and Joan Crawford were very close friends.
Same! Not a great role model for a Mexican girl but all the same, she is for me.
Why is the mom from F is for Family telling me about Barbara Stanwyck?
Why Not?|
Family guy
She was so cheated. She should have won an Oscar for Stella Dallas!!
A Hollywood great, but her treatment of her adopted son was cruel and heartless.
Big lesbian that hid it well.
Honey, do not judge. Only "God" can judge. :^)
I didn’t mind this clip the first, oh idk, dozen or so times I saw/heard it; the next (seemingly) 1,000x I just find myself deeply disliking Laura Dern. Actors are narcissists, i get it. They MUST tell you their likes & dislikes, and they just know better than we mere mortals do. Fine. Live & let live. But I feel as if I cannot get away from this crappy clip. Past couple weeks i feel like TCM is showing this 6, 7, 8x per day. Or they’re showing it after EVERY SINGLE FILM lately, and I’m just seeing it 8x per day. Ugh.
I know TCM has a JILLION clips they can show between films. How ‘bout giving this one a break for a while…pretty please? If not, then I’m going to have to only watch films I’ve already DVR’d so that I can FF through Laura Dern’s deeply annoying voice as if it was just yet another annoying commercial on network tv. If not I fear I may actually start to dislike Barbara Stanwyck, and I do not want that…
That’s the irony of it; Laura Dern wants us to “love Stanwyck” the way she does….but now I’m just getting pissed off that Laura Dern can’t seem to STFU about it.
Stanwyck was not drop dead gorgeous. That was part of her appeal. Good screen actress. Became very butch as she matured.
Depends on your view of what drop dead gorgeous is. For me, she was easily the best looking actress in town:: Drop dead Gorgeous.
@@danielstanwyck2812 No, she was never drop dead gorgeous. It's not a matter of opinion, it's a fact. She never considered herself drop dead gorgeous. That you happen to fancy her is wonderful. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but facts are facts.
@@BoBo-ti6jh there is no such thing as a "fact" about beauty. You're a jerk.
@@cathydrumobich9045Wrong! Whether you like it or not there is factual physical beauty. It is most definitely a thing. These lucky people that possess it even have jobs that utilizes only their looks. Ever picked up a fashion magazine? Like I wrote earlier, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So, if you think Stanwyck was drop dead gorgeous that's nice just don't be surprised if others question it.
Lastly, it breaks my heart that you think I'm a jerk. I don't know you well enough to judge you and call you a silly name but I can say that your comment was very ignorant.
@@cathydrumobich9045 I agree with you. There is always one in evey crowd. We have to learn to ignore them and then maybe they will go away
