Missy's Prize

For this particular episode, the Emmy Award folks decided to give the prize to Barbara "Missy" Stanwyck.

Stanwyck had won a previous Emmy for "The Barbara Stanwyck Show" in 1961 and was nominated for the Oscar four times. Stany finally got a belated honorary Oscar which she so richly deserved.

Never a great beauty (and she'd be the first to tell you this) she nevertheless had an astounding natural way of acting that - in certain instances, in "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers", for instance - she could by downright chilling.

In "The Lady Eve", she was hilariously funny.

Stanwyck had an inner fire which transferred magnificently on the screen - both big and small.

I will not spoil this special installment by giving away plot hints.

Barbara admitted to friends: "I never received as much fan mail during my years as a movie star as I have while appearing in this show" The answer was simple: Being a star on a prime-time TV show made her acting accessible to literally millions of people! And most of us admired her than not, I think

(My Aunt DeeDee couldn't stand her - and she resembled her somewhat!)

For some, Stanwyck was simply too tough.

I liked her.
