No, I haven't read the Stanwyck bio--I rarely read celebrity bios; I usually don't like knowing too much about what stars were really like when I have created my own images based on their screen and/or public personas.
I'm impressed that you knew I wasn't referring to the Carole Lombard movie with the same title! Stanwyck is wonderful in the film, but it's too bad the movie had kind of a cop-out ending, unlike Woolrich's novel.
