Barbara Stanwyck has never been confirmed gay Throughout her life, several behaviors and statements have lent themselves to rumors that she is a lesbian. The iconic actress had been exposed to the queer community since she was 16. A singer, known to be a lesbian, allegedly had sex with Barbara and biography author, Axel Madsen reportedly described the public opinion of Stanwyck as the biggest lesbian in Hollywood.
The actress did not confirm her sexuality alive, but if the accounts of those who knew her are to be believed, she was, to say the least, bisexual.
In the meantime, she married twice, first to Frank Fay, then to Robert Taylor. The union with Frank lasted from 1928 to 1935. In 1939, Robert became her husband, and the marriage lasted until 1952.
