Constance Bennett

Constance Campbell Bennett (October 22, 1904 - July 24, 1965) was a US actress known more for her elegant persona than her acting talents. Largely underrated today, Bennett was one of Hollywood's most luminous stars, delivering amusing, madcap, and occasionally arch performances that belie her ornamental reputation.

Born in New York City, she was the daughter of actor Richard Bennett and actress Adrienne Morrison, and the eldest sister of actresses Barbara Bennett and Joan Bennett. Independent, cultured, ironic and outspoken, Constance, first Bennett sister to enter films, appeared in New York-produced silents before a chance meeting with Samuel Goldwyn led to her Hollywood debut in Cytherea (1924). She abandoned a burgeoning career in silents for marriage to Philip Plant in 1925; divorced, she resumed her film career with the advent of talking pictures (1929), and with her delicate blonde features and glamorous fashion style, quickly became a popular film star.
