Stella Dallas: A Mother’s Greatest Gift

In Lux Radio Theater's heart-wrenching production of "Stella Dallas: A Mother’s Greatest Gift", Barbara Stanwyck delivers a tour-de-force performance as Stella Martin, a working-class woman who marries above her station and devotes her life to her beloved daughter, Laurel. John Boles stars as Stephen Dallas, the refined husband she cannot keep, and Anne Shirley shines as Laurel, whose future depends on a mother’s heartbreaking decision. Adapted from Olive Higgins Prouty’s celebrated novel and Samuel Goldwyn’s classic film, this emotional story of love, sacrifice, and maternal devotion will leave you breathless. In a world that prizes appearances and social standing, Stella's fierce love for her daughter forces her to make the ultimate sacrifice—one that may cost her everything, yet give her daughter the world.
