During a nearly 60-year career that spanned 1927 to 1964, Stanwyck played "a rich mix of characterizations in more than 80 films but developed a distinctive image as a gutsy, self-reliant and self-assured woman whose husky voice and cool exterior usually masked a warm heart," according to the New York Times. She was nominated for four Academy Awards for Best Actress for her roles in Stella Dallas (1937), Ball of Fire (1941), Double Indemnity (1944) and Sorry, Wrong Number (1948). In 1982 she was awarded an honorary Oscar for being ''an artist of impeccable grace and beauty, a dedicated actress and one of the great ladies of Hollywood.''
