After almost a decade researching and writing her comprehensive biography "A Life of Barbara Stanwyck: Steel-True 1907-1940" , Victoria Wilson visited Barbara Stanwyck's Marwyck Ranch in Northridge California for the first time in February 2014.   Marwyck Ranch was Stanwyck's home for roughly half of Wilson's book.  Once part of a 130 acre Thoroughbred Ranch co-owned by Zeppo and Marion Marx, the house and remaining 9.5 acres are now part of Oakridge Estate Park;  owned and managed by the City of Los Angeles.  A book signing at the property in 2014 was attended by over 200 guests.  Event photos are posted under our Visit menu tab.
