Duke's Leading Ladies


Duke co starred with just about every major female star:

Kate Hepburn, Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Crawford, Susan Hayward,Jean Arthur Lauren Bacall, Maureen O Hara, Patricia Neal, Sophia Loren, Claudette Colbert, Ann Margret, Rita Hayworth, etc etc. all of whom liked Duke a lot. The one whom he didn't get along with all that well is a surprise: Lana Turner who attracted Men all her life. In the new bio of Duke, recounts his long time affair with
a legendary co star Marlene Dietrich.

John Wayne did not make a movie with Barbara Stanwyck.

knight_hawk he did.

Baby Face (1933). He wasn't a main character but he did have scenes with her. Obviously this was a few years before he hit any kind of real stardom with Stagecoach.

After working with him, she went onto say in later life that her one regret was never been in a western with him.

Thanks Buddy and obviously I completely retract my comment. Is "Baby Face" worth watching?

reply

Barbara Stanwyck was blazing sex in Baby Face. And yes Duke Wayne had a supporting role
