Barbara Stanwyck
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.

Roustabout $9.98 The Elvis formula was well in place by the time of 1964′s Roustabout: a passel of undistinguished songs (anyone remember “Poison Ivy League”?), pretty girls, tight pants, a colorful setting, and a little bit of karate to prove that Elvis really had been studying his martial arts. With that understood, Roustabout is a better-than-average workout for the King–not as peppy as Viva Las Vegas, but a g… |
