Stanwyck isn’t one to let hamminess on my part pass unnoticed, but the thing she criticizes most in my acting is my stiffness on the screen. What do I criticize in her acting? Are you clowning? She’s a better performer than I am, smarter and makes more money - Robert Taylor ( Motion Picture Magazine, April 1949)
Elizabeth Taylor, not quite 17 and at the height of her beauty in 1949, before she had even received her first on-screen kiss with Robert Taylor in “The Conspirator”. “For God’s sake! she was stacked!” exclaimed the male Taylor. “I didn’t realize it until she appeared on the set in a negligee. She was just a child, but I couldn’t help myself. It wouldn’t have been so bad if they’d shot the scene sitting down, but I spent the entire day erect. Finally I spoke to the cameraman and he aimed the lens from my waist up”.
It happened that Larry [Kleno] was a trusted friend to Helen Ferguson, and after she suffered a series of strokes she moved from her office-apartment and asked Larry to clear out all her files, correspondence, etc. There he found years of letters to Helen from Robert Taylor written from different movie locations, describing various people and events (many of them self-deprecating). “They were beautifully written and extremely funny”, Larry said, “he could have been a writer.” Sometimes Bob would write candidly about problems he was having with a character and say, “I sure could use the Queen’s help.” And ALWAYS he would ask about how Barbara was doing.
Since Taylor had died, Larry couldn’t return them to their author, but he didn’t want to discard them either. He decided to deliver them to Barbara, but worried how she’d react to them. The next day she phoned him: “Well, young man, you really put me through it last night.” She said that she shed a lot of tears reading them, but was glad Larry had saved them. Her voice breaking, she said, “I thought he’d stopped loving me.”

“Romance of long standing in filmdom circles, that of screen stars Robert Taylor and Barbara Stanwyck—-and it still seems to be burning brightly, judging from this picture of them as they arrived at the Western premiere of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ at the Fox-Carthay Circle theatre. 9-30-1936”
