On TCM.
Today I learned Barbara Stanwyck was a very conservative Republican and a big Ayn Rand fan.
Kirk Douglas allegedly sexually assaulted 15-yr-old Natalie Wood when she met him alone in a hotel.
So much behind the Hollywood sets and scenes.

Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Taylor were the darlings of Hollywood, and their marriage seemed perfect. However, film historians have constantly analyzed their union.
Their match has been considered a 'lavender marriage' a relationship of convenience, fictitious, and arranged from the beginning. Critics suspect its purpose was to hide the stars' true sexual orientations.
Even though Stanwyck never spoke openly of her sexuality, her Biographer Axel Madsen once described her as the most famous lesbian in the closet of Hollywood.

(23,565 posts)5. Barbara Stanwyk's film "Night Nurse" is one of my favorites. It's a real hoot. I am a pediatric
nurse and remember when I worked in a hospital me and a bunch of coworkers watched it. We would talk like the characters It's soooo campy. Nick... the chauffeur! is so awesome. Clark Gable. The bootlegger was great, too.
