Hmmmm. Frank Capra & Stanwyck...can't say I remember anything like that, I'll have to do some researching...maybe IMDB.com?
In any case, I've got to agree on Stanwyck (aka Ruby Stevens from Brooklyn) - she certainly was a pip! I loved just about anything she did. You do know about her 'lavendar marriage' to Robert Taylor? Yes, of course you do. She has been accused of being gay, but nothing nor no one (that I know of) had come forth to attest to that, though there were many suspicions, but nothing concrete ever came forward. I think it was something - that if true - she took to her grave. Tho, remember her role as a lesbian in 'Walk On The Wild Side'. I was really surprised she consented to doing that, being as concervative as she was about her personal life.

yes, i've heard that...but almost everyone was accused at one time or another it seems
