Barbara Stanwyck: The Miracle Woman
Catherine Russell, Cineaste
Book review: Barbara Stanwyck: The Miracle Woman, by Dan Callahan.While Callahan would like the real Stanwyck to be the idealized love object of The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1933) he has to admit that there is another Stanwyck, one who was obsessed with Ayn Rand and who, Callahan imagines, might have cozied up to Nancy Davis (aka Nancy Reagan) on the set of East Side, West Side (1949) and whispered, "Let's name some names."
