Famed Bible expert

[Cartoonist]

That drawing does not do her justice. Here's a better picture:



This lady has an interesting story. A star of great notoriety in her day. I wanted to verify the claim made in the first image so I did a little research and met a nice person. Her name is Sherri Snyder and she's written a biography of Barbara.



I couldn't find confirmation of the Bible claim online so I decided to write to an expert. She sent me an informative reply.

This is interesting.
While I don't know how many times Barbara read the Bible, I can tell you that she was deeply religious. Her religious inclinations ran the gamut from Catholicism to Christian Science; she even considered becoming a nun at different times in her life. Since she was also very intelligent and loved to read (she professed in adulthood to have "read omnivorously" as a child, and that she preferred books to any other type of company), it wouldn't surprise me if she knew the Bible very well and was able to speak with authority on it.
