Barbara Stanwyck: Robert Taylor
built 661 days ago
Barbara Stanwyck was married twice, Frank Fay (August 26, 1928 - December 30, 1935) and Robert Taylor (May 13, 1939 - February 21, 1951). The film A Star Is Born (1937) starring Janet Gaynor and Fredric March is said to be modeled after Stanwyck's rise to stardom and first husband Frank Fay's descent into obscurity.

In this campy expose of female prisons, Stanwyck plays Nan Taylor, a woman who acts decoy during a bank robbery led by her gangster boyfriend. Nan later attracts the interest of radio evangelist David Slade (Foster), who promptly turns her over to the authorities after she confesses to her part in the crime. Sentenced to prison, Nan becomes convinced that Slade is behind her downfall and plots to hunt him down upon her release. The unexpected result of her scheming is not murder... but marriage. Bretherton’s film boasts all of the fast-paced dialogue and stark imagery associated with Warner’s gangster films of the era, coupled with the entertaining twist of a female protagonist.

Stanwyck and actor Robert Taylor began living together. Their 1939 marriage was arranged with the help of the studio, a common practice in Hollywood's golden age. She and Taylor enjoyed their time together outdoors during the early years of their marriage, and were the proud owners of many acres of prime West Los Angeles property. Their large ranch and home in the Mandeville Canyon section of Brentwood, Los Angeles, California is still to this day referred to by locals as the old "Robert Taylor ranch".
