Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Stanwyck starred with Humphrey Bogart in "The Two Mrs. Carrolls". She played his second wife. What happened to the first wife?

Answer: Bogart killed her

Bogart is fine as a man on the edge; Stanwyck has a nice turn, too.
He tries to kill her, but ...

2. In "Double Indemnity", Stanwyck schemes with Fredd MacMurray to murder Stanwyck's husband. What is the method that the two wish to use in order to collect "double indemnity"?

Answer: Train accident

This is probably one of her best movies. Again, we have a good job by Stanwyck and by her leading man, Fred MacMurray.

3. In "Sorry, Wrong Number", Stanwyck is the target of her husband's murder plot. Who plays the husband?

Answer: Burt Lancaster

This is another very well-known Stanwyck classic. She's a whining, manipulative hypochondriac; poor husband Burt can't take it any longer - heiress or not.

4. Stanwyck starred as which of these characters (in the movie of the same name)?

Answer: Annie Oakley

"Annie Oakley" was an early starring vehicle for Stanwyck.

5. Stanwyck starred with Ronald Reagan in which of these westerns?

Answer: Cattle Queen of Montana

All of these westerns include Stanwyck in the cast. (It's still odd to see a former U.S. president in the movies.)

6. Stanwyck starred in the movie version of "Golden Boy". Who wrote the play on which the movie was based?

Answer: Clifford Odets

Odets also wrote "The Country Girl" (which starred Grace Kelly, Bing Crosby and William Holden). "Golden Boy" was early in Stanwyck's career.

7. Which of these stars did NOT appear in "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers"?

Answer: Loretta Young

This is an interesting tale which features Stanwyck as the pushy and manipulative wife of Kirk Douglas. Van Heflin stars with Lisabeth Scott.

8. Which of these movies co-starred Henry Fonda?

Answer: The Lady Eve

All of the choices were movies with Stanwyck in the cast. Only "Eve" had Fonda, however.

9. "Stella Dallas" was one of Stanwyck's biggest roles. What character did she play?

Answer: Sacrificing mother

This was one of the earliest "tear-jerkers" and was one of Stanwyck's biggest roles.

10. Which of these movies did NOT include Barbara Stanwyck in the cast?

Answer: Now, Voyager

"Voyager" was an early starring role for Bette Davis.
