Quotes by Victoria Wilson (?)

“I only met her once. She was introduced to me by, of all people, Gertrude Lawrence . . . Stanwyck was gracious and laconic; very tiny; very chic; very controlled. But I met her! I saw the eyes, the lips. Contact was made." —Tennessee Williams”
― Victoria Wilson, A Life of Barbara Stanwyck: Steel-True 1907-1940

“Trusty, dusky, vivid, true,
With eyes of gold and bramble-dew,
Steel-true and blade-straight,
The great artificer
Made my mate." —Robert Taylor on Barbara Stanwyck, quoting Robert Louis Stevenson”
