The Top 10 Most Famous Women Named Barbara
For the past year I've been compiling famous names to list on my website NameNum.com. These are noted individuals, but who are the most famous? Today let's look at famous Barbaras.
The most famous women (based on online chatter) with the first name Barbara are:
10. Barbara Kruger, Artist
9. Barbara Mandrell, Musician
8. Barbara Delinsky, Author
7. Barbara Park, Author (Junie B. Jones series)
6. Barbara Eden, Actress (I Dream of Jeannie)
5. Barbara Stanwyck, Actress
4. Barbara Cartland, Romance Novel Author
3. Barbara Bush, Former First Lady
2. Barbara Boxer, Senator from California
...and the most famous Barbara is...
1. Barbara Walters, Journalist
Not making the top ten list were Barbara Feldon - Actress (Get Smart), Barbara Hutton - Heiress, Barbara Padilla - Soprano, Barbara Chanteuse - Musician, Barbara Nitke - Photographer, Barbara Bloom - Writer, and Barbara Woodhouse - Author (No Bad Dogs).
No surprise that the actresses, authors, and musicians did so well, as they usually have devoted followings. Nice to see that Barbara Stanwyck, a revered actress from the golden age of Hollywood, did so well. Also a bit unusual to have the top three spots for political figures and a journalist, but those are 3 amazing Barbaras.
...and before you ask, Barbra Streisand is spelled Barbra and not Barbara, so she wasn't eligible for this list. If Barbra Streisand were on this list she would have placed at number one by a large margin.
I compiled this list by searching for each of the Barbaras on a number of search engines and ranking them by the number of web pages, discussion forums, photos, videos, etc that are available online.

Barbara Stanwyck $35 Barbara Stanwyck (1907-1990) rose from the ranks of chorus girl to become one of Hollywood's most talented leading women-and America's highest paid woman in the mid-1940s. Shuttled among foster homes as a child, she took a number of low-wage jobs while she determinedly made the connections that landed her in successful Broadway productions. Stanwyck then acted in a stream of high-quality films from the 1930s through the 1950s. Directors such as Cecil B. DeMille, Fritz Lang, and Frank Capra treasured her particular magic. A four-time Academy Award nominee, winner of three Emmys and a Golden Globe, she was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Academy. Dan Callahan considers both Stanwyck's life and her art, exploring her seminal collaborations with Capra in such great films as Ladies of Leisure , The Miracle Woman , and The Bitter Tea of General Yen ; her Pre-Code movies Night Nurse and Baby Face ; and her classic roles in Stella Dallas , Remember the Night , The Lady Eve , and Double Indemnity . After making more than eighty films in Hollywood, she revived her career by turning to television, where her role in the 1960s series The Big Valley renewed her immense popularity. Callahan examines Stanwyck's career in relation to the directors she worked with and the genres she worked in, leading up to her late-career triumphs in two films directed by Douglas Sirk, All I Desire and There's Always Tomorrow , and two outrageous westerns, The Furies and Forty Guns . The book positions Stanwyck where she belongs-at the very top of her profession-and offers a close, sympathetic reading of her performances in all their range and complexity. |
