Wilson said, with appalling nerve if the NYT is accurate that her book avoids personal sexuality,: In a long interview, Lara Fowler asked if Stanwyck's second marriage to Robert Taylor was to cover up their mutual homosexualities and Wilson only denies Taylor's queerness. What she does tackle is the outrageous ways in which sexual stereotypes were marketed to pitch movies." Wilson does not explore issues of personal sexuality. The very, very exhaustive index lacks entries for sexuality, homosexuality, lesbian, gay, or rumors, and the NYT critic hurries past the colossal implications in noting, "Ms. Why are critics giving Victoria Wilson a pass for degaying A Life of Barbara Stanwyck ?

"Home is a new house with a loving husband in 1970s California that is suddenly transformed into the frightening world of the antebellum South.
